This software product supports the application of ASTM's Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP; see Note)standard practice (E 1765) for performing multiattribute decision analysis to evaluate buildings and building systems. It includes a comprehensive list of building-related attributes (developed by ASTM Subcommittee E06.25 and E06.81)in a glossary from which you can select attributes of interest (such as location/accessibility, site security, maintainability, quality of the sound and visual environment, and image to the public and occupants) when evaluating your building decision.
Features include:
A model-building application which allows you to "slice" away those attributes not wanted to create a model of remaining attributes that best represent your unique problem. Any attributes important to you, whether or not they are included in the building-related attribute glossary, can be added to the model structure.
Building-related case examples.
Special documentation that explains in detail the building-related features of the software.
Package includes building evaluation manual, software to support ASTM E 1765, Expert Choice® tutorial and user manual, and copy of ASTM standard E 1765.
For architects,developers, owners or lessors of buildings, real estate professionals(commercial and residential), facility managers, building material manufacturers, and agencies managing building portfolios.
