1、Designation: E3035 15Standard Classification forFacility Asset Component Tracking System (FACTS)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3035; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、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 standard (FACTS) establishes a classification ofbuilding and sitework elements and components, and theirassociated functions, at
3、tributes, and products. Elements, asdefined here, are major assemblies and components common tobuildings and sitework. Elements usually perform givenfunctions, regardless of the design specification, constructionmethod, or materials used. The attribute classification will leadto more effective manag
4、ement of the operation, maintenance,and life cycle cost of the asset.1.2 The classification:1.2.1 Incorporates Levels 1, 2, and 3 from ClassificationE1557:1.2.1.1 Major Group Element (Classification E1557 Level1).1.2.1.2 Group Element (Classification E1557 Level 2).1.2.1.3 Element (Classification E1
5、557 Level 3).1.2.2 Establishes sub-elements at Levels 4 and beyond:1.2.2.1 Because the main objective is content and notspecifically rigid structure, levels beyond those established inClassification E1557 are not balanced.1.2.2.2 Products and characteristics are introduced at vary-ing levels, depend
6、ing on the appropriate element and elementalfunction.1.2.2.3 Functional elements are aligned with products andproduct characteristics.1.2.3 Incorporates the noun-adjective-attribute relationshipbetween elements, elemental function and the associated prod-ucts and characteristics.1.2.4 This approach
7、identifies specific products that willsupport the element at its functional level. However, theclassification permits the introduction of additional productsnecessitated due to higher order requirements, such as but notlimited to:(1) Asset type(2) Asset function(3) Asset conditions(4) Building code

Sig
24、nificance and Use4.1 This classification defines building elements as majorassemblies, components, and attributes common to real prop-erty assets and sitework. Elements perform given functions,regardless of the design specification, construction method,materials or products used. (See Terminology E1
25、480, Classi-fications E1557 and E1670, and Practice E2675.)4.2 The classification aligns products to specific functionalelements and/or sub-element to enable the development ofspecialized maintenance procedures. (See Practices E2452,E2604, and E2675.)4.3 This alignment will help streamline warehousi
26、ng re-quirements and enable functional business units to use acommon nomenclature. (See Terminology E1480 and PracticeE2452.)4.4 The classification will lead to more effective life cyclemanagement of the operation, maintenance and cost of theasset by linking activities and participants in an assets
27、fulllife-cycle, from initial planning through construction,operations, maintenance, repair, modernization, and disposal.(See Practices E917 and E1334, Classification E1670, PracticeE1946, and Guide E2506). See Fig. 1 for life cycle applicationof FACTS.4.5 The benefits of the life cycle application o
28、f FACTS are:4.5.1 Maintain project tracking and transparency through allphases of project lifecycle.4.5.2 Continue to develop requirements and informationtracked as processes evolve.4.5.3 Inform future projects, policies, processes, and guid-ance with lessons learned/best practices.4.6 The users of
29、this classification include owners, archi-tects and engineers, developers, property managers, assetmanagers, project managers, operation and maintenance staff,cost estimators, construction contractors, and database admin-istrators. (See Guide E1369, Terminology E1480, GuideE2156, and Practice E2812.
30、)4.7 Application of this classification (FACTS) provides forvalue-added activities that cannot be derived from using asolely product-based approach. (See Guide E1369 and PracticeE1699.)4.8 FACTS provides a scalable classification structure ap-plied across the project lifecycle at various levels of d
31、epth andFIG. 1 Life Cycle Application of FACTSE3035 152granularity. In the planning, design, and construct stages, scopedefinition and cost estimates become progressively moregranular as performance management requirements and de-tailed design specifications are completed.4.9 During the operate and
32、disposal phases, recurring main-tenance and non-recurring maintenance procedures areconducted, and assets are ultimately disposed of. UsingFACTS, each of the activities in the asset lifecycle can beassociated with the appropriate element, product and associ-ated attributes. Thus enabling the calcula
33、tion of the total cost ofownership of the asset including activities ranging from PMs(Preventive Maintenance Activities), to major remediation,restoration, and ultimate disposal and/or demolition of theasset. (See Fig. 2.)4.10 FACTS presents building information in a relationalstructure with suffici
34、ent granularity to meet the requirementsfor a uniform building classification system that supportsestablishment of the total cost of ownership of assets. (SeePractice E917.)4.11 FACTS presents building information in a relationalstructure with sufficient granularity to meet the requirementsfor a uni
35、form building classification system that supportsestablishment of the total cost of ownership of assets. (SeePractice E917.)4.12 FACTS represents elements, work results, products,materials, and properties in a relational model that can beconsistently applied across a portfolio of assets or buildings
36、.(See Fig. 3.)4.12.1 In this structure, products are assigned to theirrespective building element or work result to account forspecific functional use.4.12.2 Without knowledge of this context, designers couldfail to select products that align with the purpose of thebuilding.4.12.3 Facility managers
37、could lack key inputs to definemaintenance procedures. FACTS relational data structureamong elements and products provides the solution to thiscritical gap and narrows the scope to the appropriate selectionof elements that support a specific functional use of theproduct. (See Classifications E1557 a
38、nd E1670.)4.13 This approach narrows the specific products that maysupport the function identified, however, it does not explicitlyrule out certain products and materials due to the unknownnature of higher order functions, such as the building type,building function, building conditions, building co
39、derequirements, etc.NOTE 1For example, if the higher order building function was aprison, this would rule out the use of any ceilings or outlets that are nottamper-proof and as a result, the selection criteria from the database ofelements would become limited.Therefore, the classification seeks to d
40、efine a larger universeof products and characteristics that may define its functionaluse. However, the classification also provides a logical data-base structure where business rules may be applied to furtherlimit the selection criteria based on a higher order function asdemonstrated in Fig. 3.4.14
41、The alignment of functional elements to a product-based schema focuses on identifying the respective function atthe following:4.14.1 Major Group Element (Classification E1557 Level1),4.14.2 Group Element (Classification E1557 Level 2),4.14.3 Element (Classification E1557 Level 3),4.14.4 Sub-Element
42、(Level 4),4.14.5 Associated Performance Attributes (Not LevelBound), and4.14.6 Identifying the specific products and characteristics.4.15 Fig. 4 demonstrates an example of the methodologyused for identifying each Level within a Built-Up RoofingSystem. Level 2 = Roofing, Level 3 = Roof Coverings.4.16
43、 FACTS is a standard that best answers the call to“collect data oncefor use by many.” FACTS is built toleverage data so multiple stakeholders/users within an organi-zation can benefit from the shared data. (See Fig. 5.)4.16.1 Fig. 5 reflects the multiple stakeholder groups andfunctional users in any

Basis of Classification5.1 This classification is intended for use in the real propertyasset environment, including associated sitework.5.2 The current Classific
46、ation E1557, UNIFORMAT IIdefines a four-level structure, the first three of which aremandatory in application of the Classification E1557 standard.5.3 The experience of applying the Classification E1557 forthe Existing Facility Operation, Computerized MaintenanceManagement System (CMMS), Building In
47、formation Model-ling (BIM), and Project Management/Project Controls commu-nities clearly demonstrated the need for expanding the Classi-fication E1557 into a more granular structure that tied element/function to attribute, and product.5.4 FACTS identifies the relationships between functionalbuilding
48、 elements, components, and the materials and methodsnecessary to construct, maintain, and manage the components.5.5 FACTS identifies attributes that impact the decisionprocess for the user. These attributes inform the user of thesignificant factors that would lead to their choice of systems,material
49、s, and/or products based on certain characteristics andultimately their associated life cycle requirements.5.6 FACTS is based on an expansion of ClassificationE1557 with the introduction of Noun/Adjective/Attribute logicfor use in Object Modeling, Preventive Maintenance (PM)development, and other emergingAsset Management technolo-gies.5.7 FACTS is function driven, but is not level balanced. Tothat extent, the identification of performance attributes,products, and product characteristics occurs at varying levelswithin the structure depending on the Element and Sub-Eleme
