Rationale

Standardization research associated with FCA's has largely focused on organization of asset information (Inventory, tagging, etc.). While a variety of standards and guidelines do exist to support an FCA project, standards and guidelines are underutilized, and the industry lacks an integrated asset management and facility management standardization approach to conduct an FCA. Referenced standards include: • The American Society of Civil Engineers published the ASCE/SEI 30-14 Guideline for condition assessment of the building envelope (2014). • ASTM E-2018 (American Society for Testing and Materials) (2024) Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Process • RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) (2020) Technical Due Diligence of Commercial Property • NASA FCA standards (NPR 8831.2F) Subcommittee E06.81 on Building Economics (Staff Manager: Frank McConnell; Chair: Daniel J. Lemieux) maintains the following related standards: • ASTM E917 (E06.81) Standard Practice for Measuring Life-Cycle Costs of Buildings and Building Systems • ASTM E964 (E06.81) Standard Practice for Measuring Benefit-to-Cost and Savings-to-Investment Ratios for Buildings and Building Systems • ASTM E1185(E06.81) Standard Guide for Selecting Economic Methods for Evaluating Investments in Buildings and Building Systems • ASTM E2204 (E06.81) Standard Guide for Summarizing the Economic Impacts of Building-Related Projects • ASTM E1557 (E06.81) Standard Classification for Building Elements and Related Sitework—UNIFORMAT II
