Abstract:
The Construction and Building Subcommittee of the
National Science and Technology Council is developing
baseline measures of current construction industry
parctices and measures of progress with respect to each
of the seven National Construction Goals. The seven
National Construction Goals are concerned with: (1)
reductions in the delivery time of constructed
facilities; (2) reductions in operations, maintenance,
and energy costs; (3) increases in occupant productivity
and comfort; (4) reductions in occupant-related
illnesses and injuries; (5) reductions in waste and
pollution; (6) increases in the durability and
flexibility of constructed facilities; and (7)
reductions in construction worker illnesses and
injuries. This report provides a detailed set of
baseline measures for National Construction Goal 2
(reductions in operations, maintenance, and energy
costs) for educational facilities. As such, it describes
data sources, data classifications, and the metrics used
to develop the baseline measures. Extensive use of
charts and tables is made throughout this document to
illustrate the process by which the baseline measures
were developed.
