1、Designation: E2129 10Standard Practice forData Collection for Sustainability Assessment of BuildingProducts1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2129; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、 revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers a set of instructions for collectingdata to be used in assessing the sustainability of buildingproduc
3、ts for use in both commercial and residential buildings.1.1.1 There are many features of a building that contributeto sustainability; one of them is the selection of products foruse in a building. Other key features influencing sustainabilityinclude, but are not limited to: overall efficiency of the
4、 designof the building, the impact the building has on the habits of theoccupants, and the impact the building has on the microclimateand macroclimate. This standard addresses sustainability issuesrelated to building products. This standard does not addresssustainability issues related to overall bu
5、ilding design, siteselection, building operations, or other features influencingsustainability.1.1.2 While it is recommended that users rely on profes-sional judgment informed by both environmental expertise andspecific knowledge of the intended use of the product, thisstandard provides no instructi
6、on as to interpretation of the dataobtained. Interpretation of the data obtained is the responsibil-ity of the user of this standard.1.1.3 This document cannot replace education or experienceand should be used in conjunction with professional judgment.Not all aspects of this practice may be applicab
7、le in allcircumstances. This practice is not intended to represent orreplace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a givenprofessional service must be judged, nor should this documentbe applied without consideration of a projects many uniqueaspects. The word “standard” in the title means onl
8、y that thedocument has been approved through the ASTM consensusprocess.1.2 This standard is organized according to the ConstructionSpecifications Institutes (CSI) MasterFormat2sections to pro-mote consistency in the evaluation of building products.1.2.1 CSI MasterFormat version 1995 is used to organ
9、izeinformation in Table 2.Appendix X1 provides a cross referencecomparison to CSI MasterFormat 2004.1.3 This standard includes general, comprehensive datarequirements. Depending upon the building product, certaindata requirements may not apply given the unique character-istics of the product and the
10、 potential environmental impactsrelated to the intended use of the product. Depending upon thebuilding product, certain data requirements may need to beadded as appropriate to the unique characteristics of theproduct and the potential environmental impacts related to theintended use of the product.1

Significance and Use5.1 This standard provides a practice for data collection forthe purpose of assessing the sustainability of building products.Such data can inform decisions relative
39、to construction, reno-vation, repair, and maintenance of buildings with the goal ofpromoting sustainability and sustainable development.5.1.1 The users of this standard include building industryprofessionals who possess a broad, general understanding ofsustainability issues relative to the performan
40、ce of buildings.Such users may include planners, developers, architects, engi-neers, interior designers, contractors, owners, financial organi-zations related to the buildings industry, building materials and16The term “Energy Star” and the Energy Star logo are trademarks of UnitedStates Environment

42、sment facilitated by the comparative information col-lected in accordance with this standard, additional detailed andmore technical information may be required in order toadequately assess specific needs for specific applications.5.2 There are many environmental features and issues, eachwith local,
43、regional, and global implications, involved insustainability. It is becoming increasingly necessary to be ableto quantify complex sustainability data relative to buildingindustry information tools. This standard provides a format forrelating the commonly accepted sustainability principles tobuilding
44、 industry data collection methods. Users may wish toconsider other building product attributes for which sustain-ability principles are deemed to be important or measurementmethodologies may exist, or both. For example, the embodiedenergy of the product and greenhouse emitted over a productslifecycl
45、e, which can have a significant effect on the overallsustainability of a building product, may be deemed important.5.3 The format for data collection is intended to facilitate acost-effective and efficient assessment of sustainability issuesrelative to building materials.5.4 The scientific understan
46、ding of the functioning andinterrelation of ecosystems continues to evolve; nevertheless,there are many accepted principles relative to the design,construction, and operation of buildings for improved sustain-ability. Commonly accepted environmental principles are ad-dressed in the five criteria cat
47、egories, with an emphasis on thefollowing characteristics: the selection and acquisition ofmaterials (Criteria Category 1), the manufacturing process(Criteria Category 2), the operational performance of theinstalled building product (Criteria Category 3), the impact ofthe building product on IEQ (Cr
48、iteria Category 4), and thecorporate environmental policy of the company manufacturingor fabricating the building product, or both (Criteria Category5).5.5 To the greatest extent feasible, questions are designed toprompt simple yes-or-no responses.5.5.1 For questions prompting a yes-or-no response,
49、a “yes”response is typically indicative of the more sustainable re-sponse. However, this standard provides no instruction as tothe degree of impact on sustainability of a “yes” responserelative to a “no” response for a particular question; and, thisstandard provides no instruction as to the degree of impact onsustainability of one question relative to another question.5.5.2 The user is cautioned to review each question and thecomments associated with each question.
