#782 Add volume to phIoT

Chad Ruch Mon 27 Jan 2020

I believe the following should be added to phIoT:

def: volume
doc: Volume of a shape or floor space

meta
def: volume
doc: See above
is: number
lib: phIoT
prefUnit: ft³, m³
tagOn: site, space

and while we're discussing volume... can we get ccf added to the unit db?

ccf is equivalent to the hft³ that we have in the unit database, but...

ccf is used fairly frequently with both gas and water billing.

When I google hft³, 2 of the top 3 results are from us (one on project-haystack.org and one on project-haystack.dev... in fact, of the top 9 results (first page) 4 of them were obix, fantom, or haystack)... it doesn't seem to be used often (or much at all outside of obix unit db derivatives)

We already have a standard volume tag - it just hasn't been mapped over to Haystack 4 yet

Regarding

The hft³ is a measure of volume, but I think ccf is a measure of natural gas energy and we do have a unit defined for that called hundred_cubic_feet_natural_gas (however we do not have the abbreviation)
