3、s a complete performance standard guide forspecifying and evaluating single family attached and detached dwellings.The complete set in theseries,when finished,is to include the attributes given in Table 1.The series provides a framework for specifying and evaluating qualities of building products an
4、dsystems to meet user needs without limiting ways and means.The format for this guide includesperformance statements that consist of four components,Objectives-Criteria-Evaluation-Commentary(O-C-E-C),which together provide a systematic performance based approach for the intendedpurpose.These perform
5、ance statements are presented in Section 8 against a Hierarchy of BuildingElements as tabulated in Table 2.The purpose of these standard guides is to provide a standardized system for describingperformance parameters of single-family attached or detached dwellings.This system standardizes thedescrip
6、tions of performance of a single-family dwelling,attached or detached,that can be expressedas performance statements(O-C-E-C)for a particular attribute,agent,and user need.These standard guides are intended for use by those who need to prescribe required levels ofperformance and those who need to ra
7、te a product which forms a single-family dwelling or partthereof.The standard guides include examples of performance statements that may be used for thespecification and evaluation of design,materials,products,components,subsystems,and systems.1.Scope1.1 This guide contains suggested performance sta
8、tementsfor single family residential buildings(attached and detached)that address indoor air quality performance including indoor airpollution and thermal comfort.These performance statementsare not presented as proposed requirements,but are written inpermissive language as suggestions that can be u
