1.1 本规程涵盖了一套用于收集数据的说明，这些数据用于评估商业和住宅建筑中使用的建筑产品的可持续性。 1.1.1 建筑的许多特征都有助于可持续发展；其中之一是选择建筑中使用的产品。影响可持续性的其他关键特征包括但不限于:建筑设计的整体效率、建筑对居住者习惯的影响以及建筑对小气候和宏观气候的影响。这种做法解决了与建筑产品相关的可持续性问题。这种做法没有解决与整体建筑设计、选址、建筑运营或其他影响可持续性的特征相关的可持续性问题。 1.1.2 虽然建议用户依靠环境专业知识和产品预期用途的具体知识进行专业判断，但这种做法没有提供对所获得数据的解释说明。解释所获得的数据是本实践用户的责任。 1.1.3 本文件不能取代教育或经验，应与专业判断结合使用。并非这种做法的所有方面都适用于所有情况。这种做法并不代表或取代必须判断特定专业服务是否充分的护理标准，也不应在不考虑项目许多独特方面的情况下应用本文件。 标题中的“标准”一词仅表示该文件已通过ASTM共识程序获得批准。 1.2 本实践是根据建筑规范协会（CSI）的主格式组织的 2. 促进建筑产品评估一致性的章节。 1.2.1 CSI MasterFormat 1995版用于组织信息 表2 . 附录X1 提供了与CSI MasterFormat 2004的交叉引用比较。 1.3 这种做法包括一般、全面的数据要求。根据建筑产品的不同，考虑到产品的独特特性以及与产品预期用途相关的潜在环境影响，某些数据要求可能不适用。根据建筑产品的不同，可能需要根据产品的独特特性和与产品预期用途相关的潜在环境影响，适当添加某些数据要求。 1.4 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如果有的话）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前建立适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 =====意义和用途====== 5.1 本实践提供了一种数据收集实践，用于评估建筑产品的可持续性。 这些数据可以为建筑物的建设、翻新、维修和维护决策提供信息，以促进可持续性和可持续发展。 5.1.1 这种做法的使用者包括建筑行业的专业人士，他们对与建筑性能相关的可持续性问题有着广泛而全面的了解。此类用户可能包括规划师、开发商、建筑师、工程师、室内设计师、承包商、业主、与建筑行业相关的金融组织、建筑材料和产品制造商、包括建筑官员在内的政府机构以及其他建筑专业人员。 5.1.2 用户应注意，在根据本惯例收集的比较信息进行初步评估后，可能需要更多详细和技术性更强的信息，以便充分评估特定应用的具体需求。 5.2 可持续发展涉及许多环境特征和问题，每一个都具有地方、区域和全球影响。与建筑行业信息工具相比，能够量化复杂的可持续性数据变得越来越必要。这种做法提供了一种将公认的可持续性原则与建筑行业数据收集方法联系起来的格式。用户可能希望考虑其他建筑产品属性，其中可持续性原则被认为很重要，或者可能存在测量方法，或者两者兼而有之。例如，产品的隐含能量和产品生命周期内排放的温室气体可能对建筑产品的整体可持续性产生重大影响，这可能被认为很重要。 5.3 数据收集的格式旨在促进对建筑材料相关可持续性问题的成本效益和有效评估。 5.4 对生态系统功能和相互关系的科学理解仍在不断发展；然而，在建筑的设计、建造和运营方面，有许多公认的原则可以提高可持续性。公认的环境原则在五个标准类别中得到了阐述，重点是以下特征:材料的选择和获取（标准类别1）、制造过程（标准类别2）、安装的建筑产品的运行性能（标准类别3）、建筑产品对IEQ的影响（标准类别4）以及制造或装配建筑产品的公司的企业环境政策，或两者兼而有之（标准类别5）。 5.5 在可行的最大范围内，问题旨在提示简单的“是”或“否”回答。 5.5.1 对于提示回答“是”或“否”的问题，“是”的回答通常表示更可持续的回答。然而，这种做法没有说明对特定问题的“是”回答相对于“否”回答对可持续性的影响程度；而且，这种做法没有说明一个问题相对于另一个问题对可持续性的影响程度。 5.5.2 提醒用户查看每个问题以及与每个问题相关的评论。建筑产品的独特特性和建筑产品的特殊应用可能会影响数据的解释。 5.5.3 如果有信息可以阐明主题并提高对特定问题复杂性的理解，则可以提供评论。 5.5.4 如果问题要求提供不适用或不可用的信息，或两者兼而有之，则可以注明“N/A”。 5.5.5 如果问题要求提供未知或不可用的信息，则可指示“U/K”。

1.1 This practice covers a set of instructions for collecting data to be used in assessing the sustainability of building products for use in both commercial and residential buildings. 1.1.1 There are many features of a building that contribute to sustainability; one of them is the selection of products for use in a building. Other key features influencing sustainability include, but are not limited to: overall efficiency of the design of the building, the impact the building has on the habits of the occupants, and the impact the building has on the microclimate and macroclimate. This practice addresses sustainability issues related to building products. This practice does not address sustainability issues related to overall building design, site selection, building operations, or other features influencing sustainability. 1.1.2 While it is recommended that users rely on professional judgment informed by both environmental expertise and specific knowledge of the intended use of the product, this practice provides no instruction as to interpretation of the data obtained. Interpretation of the data obtained is the responsibility of the user of this practice. 1.1.3 This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this practice may be applicable in all circumstances. This practice is not intended to represent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor should this document be applied without consideration of a project’s many unique aspects. The word “standard” in the title means only that the document has been approved through the ASTM consensus process. 1.2 This practice is organized according to the Construction Specifications Institute’s (CSI) MasterFormat 2 sections to promote consistency in the evaluation of building products. 1.2.1 CSI MasterFormat version 1995 is used to organize information in Table 2 . Appendix X1 provides a cross reference comparison to CSI MasterFormat 2004. 1.3 This practice includes general, comprehensive data requirements. Depending upon the building product, certain data requirements may not apply given the unique characteristics of the product and the potential environmental impacts related to the intended use of the product. Depending upon the building product, certain data requirements may need to be added as appropriate to the unique characteristics of the product and the potential environmental impacts related to the intended use of the product. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This practice provides a practice for data collection for the purpose of assessing the sustainability of building products. Such data can inform decisions relative to construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance of buildings with the goal of promoting sustainability and sustainable development. 5.1.1 The users of this practice include building industry professionals who possess a broad, general understanding of sustainability issues relative to the performance of buildings. Such users may include planners, developers, architects, engineers, interior designers, contractors, owners, financial organizations related to the buildings industry, building materials and product manufacturers, government agencies including building officials, and other building professionals. 5.1.2 Users should note that, subsequent to the preliminary assessment facilitated by the comparative information collected in accordance with this practice, additional detailed and more technical information may be required in order to adequately assess specific needs for specific applications. 5.2 There are many environmental features and issues, each with local, regional, and global implications, involved in sustainability. It is becoming increasingly necessary to be able to quantify complex sustainability data relative to building industry information tools. This practice provides a format for relating the commonly accepted sustainability principles to building industry data collection methods. Users may wish to consider other building product attributes for which sustainability principles are deemed to be important or measurement methodologies may exist, or both. For example, the embodied energy of the product and greenhouse emitted over a product’s life cycle, which can have a significant effect on the overall sustainability of a building product, may be deemed important. 5.3 The format for data collection is intended to facilitate a cost-effective and efficient assessment of sustainability issues relative to building materials. 5.4 The scientific understanding of the functioning and interrelation of ecosystems continues to evolve; nevertheless, there are many accepted principles relative to the design, construction, and operation of buildings for improved sustainability. Commonly accepted environmental principles are addressed in the five criteria categories, with an emphasis on the following characteristics: the selection and acquisition of materials (Criteria Category 1), the manufacturing process (Criteria Category 2), the operational performance of the installed building product (Criteria Category 3), the impact of the building product on IEQ (Criteria Category 4), and the corporate environmental policy of the company manufacturing or fabricating the building product, or both (Criteria Category 5). 5.5 To the greatest extent feasible, questions are designed to prompt simple yes-or-no responses. 5.5.1 For questions prompting a yes-or-no response, a “yes” response is typically indicative of the more sustainable response. However, this practice provides no instruction as to the degree of impact on sustainability of a “yes” response relative to a “no” response for a particular question; and, this practice provides no instruction as to the degree of impact on sustainability of one question relative to another question. 5.5.2 The user is cautioned to review each question and the comments associated with each question. Unique characteristics of a building product and unique applications of a building product may affect interpretation of the data. 5.5.3 Comments may be provided where there is information which will elucidate the topic and improve understanding relative to the complexities of the particular question. 5.5.4 “N/A” may be indicated where questions request information that is not applicable or not available, or both. 5.5.5 “U/K” may be indicated where questions request information that is unknown or unavailable.
