#### 8.5.3.2 IfcConversionBasedUnitWithOffset

| Unité basée sur une mesure avec unité et avec décalage
| Auf Umrechnung basierte Einheit mit Abzug

IfcConversionBasedUnitWithOffset is a unit which is converted from another unit by applying a conversion factor and an offset.

> HISTORY New entity in IFC4.

Example: The temperature unit Fahrenheit is based on the temperature unit Kelvin as follows:

> f = k · 1.8 – 459.67

wherein k is an absolute temperature expressed in Kelvin and f is the same temperature in Fahrenheit. The following entity instances provide Fahrenheit as a unit:

> `IfcConversionBasedUnitWithOffset(
> IfcDimensionalExponents(0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0),
> THERMODYNAMICTEMPERATUREUNIT,
> 'Fahrenheit',
> IfcMeasureWithUnit(
> IfcThermodynamicTemperatureMeasure(1.8),
> IfcSiUnit(THERMODYNAMICTEMPERATUREUNIT, ?, KELVIN)),
> -459.67);`
