8、the value of project resultsrelative to the expense.4.2 Increasing the widespread understanding of how energyis used and the types of services it provides in commercial,institutional,and related(light industrial,large multifamily,and mixed commercial/residential)buildings has proved to bedifficult.T
9、his difficulty arises from the following variables:thecomplexity of buildings as energy systems;the diversity ofsizes,uses,schedules,and types of buildings;the changes inuses of buildings;and the mixture of uses within individualbuildings.These factors make building energy performanceand energy(and
10、dollar)savings from energy improvementsdifficult to categorize and compare.4.3 The audience for this guide is diverse,including energysuppliers such as utilities,building owners and managers,building occupants,designers,public and private researchorganizations,equipment manufacturers,and public regu

12、ocedure5.1 Because initial goals and objectives often lead to exces-sive costs for field data collection,an iterative approach toproject development is usually necessary.Once the goals andobjectives are defined,costs for completing the project can beestimated.If the costs are too high,the goals and
13、objectives areredefined(next iteration)to attempt to achieve more realisticcosts,and further iterations are conducted as necessary.5.2 Project Development Activities:1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Performanceof Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommitte
