+About the HUB
+*************************
+
+This document contains the essential documentation for the CERC HUB, a set of classes, factories, and helpers that simplifies the research at urban scale in multiples domains; these components are designed around three central axes, **extensibility**, **code clarity** and **consistency** as we intend to allow domain experts to perform urban scale simulations with multiple programs and enrich the city from several data sources.
+HUB is composed of four main components: **city model structure**, **factories**, **catalogs** and, **helpers**.
+
+- **City model structure** is the set of classes designed to be familiar to the domain experts; this familiarity will be possible thanks to using a *standard-based* approach in order to flatten the learning curve. These classes compose the CERC *data model* that provides a simple way to study cities at an urban scale after the enriching process.
+- **Factories** are pieces of code in charge of import and export information in and out of the **data model** they will perform the needed conversions to read or write different formats such as epw weather files, insel files or citygml. these factories are mean to be extended, allowing the HUB ecosystem to expand with new formats.
+- **Catalogs** are datasets used in the enrichment of the city that can also be used by third party consumers like researchers or simulations software.
+- **Helpers** are sets of general tools used by any of the other parts and does not fit in any of the previous categories.
+
+City model structure
+=====================================
+
+The **city model structure** contains the common data model intended to represent a city digital twin, CERC team and contributors, will further extend these classes to include other domains, in the following sections, researchers and developers could find information about the methods and properties exposed by the city model structure classes.

+Internal Zone
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. note:: The internal zone class represents each of the internal zones described in the geometry when imported.
+
+   This imported geometry can be later on divided in different thermal zones in a workflow (e.g. if the building with no interiors defined (LoD up to 3), it will produce one interior zone. Later on, this can be divided by storey and create one thermal zone per each).
+
+   Also, several usages can be associated with that internal zone. This usages are described in the Usage class, which has not only the parameters that describe each usage, but also the percentage of the internal zone volume that is affected by that specific use.

+Factories
+=====================================
+
+Factories are divided into Imports and Exports, depending on if they are used to enrich (Import) the *city model structure* or to deliver third party defined formats (Export) such as **INSEL** or **IDF** file, the factories could be extended to include new imports and outputs providing an additional level of abstraction to researchers.
+
+|alert| Please, note that the private methods, the ones starting with an underscore character (_), documented in the factories are mean to be called by using the **handler** parameter; this parameter must contain the method name without the _ character.
+
+.. note::
+   For instance, to use _citygml handler in the Geometry factory, the handler parameter value needs to be 'citygml'
+
+|alert| **This documentation includes only the base factories classes as these are the intended entry points for the Import/Export functionality.**
+
+.. important::
+
+   Please refer to the development manual if you want to create your own factories.

+Catalogs
+=====================================
+
+In its simplest form, a catalogue is a file or group of files that provide technical and/or commercial information regarding components that form a system within any domain. The components are listed with relevant details and associated data is tabulated. Also listed are the dominant/standard configurations in which the components may be used to satisfy use-cases/output requirements (as supplied by component manufacturer/standard organisations).
+
+
+.. note::
+   Examples, Heat Pump catalogue should consist of the heat pump models produced, heat pump type, manufacturer name, output temperatures, nominal capacities, typical configurations for the heat pumps (e.g., configurations when used for space heating only, Domestic Hot Water/DHW purposes only, both space heating and DHW, combinations with solar thermal/PV), storage tank data, circulation pump data, compressor type and associated technical data, valve types etc.
+
+.. important::
+
+   Please refer to the catalogs manual if you want to create or extend your own catalogs.
