   ABSTRACT     = {Access to building data is crucial for creating portable 
      applications and improving building operation and energy efficiency. 
      Ensuring data transmutability is essential for facilitating research 
      and overcoming the diverse data representation, management, and 
      collection methods across various building management systems (BMSs). 
      Different BMSs use multiple interfaces for data exchange. Some BMSs 
      provide Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for data exchanges, 
      while others have gateways connecting to cloud services for 
      application subscription and data access. This study introduces a 
      five-layered architecture that describes how client applications, 
      researchers, and other interested stakeholders can exchange data with 
      different BMSs. Our objective is to help researchers and 
      practitioners understand the various ways of accessing transmutable 
      (capable of being transformed into a compatible format) data from 
      BMSs, regardless of the building management system a building uses. 
      Through transmutable access to building systems' data, we aim to 
      enable transferable energy-efficient-related applications for 
      buildings. We evaluate our work with a building model of the Varennes 
      Library in Varennes, QC, Canada. The building model includes 
      information about the building, floors, rooms, electric meter and 
      historical time series data of the meter, weather station and its 
      historical time series data. The model also has carbon dioxide 
      concentration sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and 
      historical time series data of the sensors. We include two test 
      client programs to show how they access the transmutable data of the 
      building through a model. We conclude that the five-layered 
      architecture facilitates the exchange of transmutable data across 
      diverse BMSs, making it a valuable tool for researchers and 
      practitioners.}
