Key:room

The room=* key is used to mark rooms inside a building, which is a space surrounded by walls and doors. This is useful when mapping indoor spaces.

Tagging

To tag a room, create an area (preferred) or a node and add indoor=room. The room=* key allows a user to precisely define the function of a given room (see values below).

To add more details, you can use these tags :

• name=* : the room name
• ref=* : the room reference/number
• level=* : the level of the building where the room is located (recommended)

You may also add room entrances, see entrance=* and door=*.

Common values

This is a list of commonly used values for rooms.

Key	Value	Element	Comment	Rendering	Photo
room	entrance		The first room of a building after passing the main entrance, if any.
room	office		An office room. Use office=* on the whole or part of the building.
room	class		A room=classroom, where a reduced amount of students can learn from a teacher and work in groups
room	corridor		A corridor, see also indoor=corridor.
room	stairs		A staircase, a room containing stairs. Combine with highway=steps for routing.
room	toilet		A room containing one toilet only, use amenity=toilets for the area where all toilets are collected.

See Taginfo for most used values, or the list of other values below.

Avoid these values

Avoid using the following common values, they add no information and can cause confusion.

Key	Value	Comment
room	yes	No need to add this tag, since indoor=room already defines a generic room
room	shop	A shop, use shop=* instead.
room	store	Ambiguous, can be a shop or a storage room. Use shop=* or room=storage instead.
room	toilets	A room containing several toilets, use amenity=toilets instead.
room	restaurant	A restaurant, use amenity=restaurant instead.
room	reception	amenity=reception_desk

Other values

The following list contains some values, derived from the CityGML Spec V1.0 from SIG 3D. The possible collisions still have to be discussed. Maybe we should remove values like bedroom as we only tag public buldings like train-/underground stations, universities, libraries etc.
