1. SBU building information may be contained in any document (including drawings, specifications, virtual modeling, reports, studies, analyses) with information pertaining to:

a. Location and details of secure functions or space in a building. Examples:

Any document (including drawings, specifications, virtual modeling, reports, studies, analyses) that does not contain information considered a security risk, or in which specific SBU building information, as identified above, has been redacted before release or presentation to the public, is not SBU. Examples include:
