Guideline for Condition Assessment of the Building Envelope
The intent of this standard, Guideline for Condition Assessment of the Building Envelope, ASCE 00-030, is to provide a guideline and methodology for assessing the condition and performance of existing building envelope systems and components and identifying problematic and dysfunctional elements. It applies equally to a building's envelope or portion whose primary purpose may be to serve as the supporting structural system of the building. This standard assists the investigator in developing a logical approach to this assessment by establishing an assessment procedure including investigation, testing methods, and a form for the report of the condition assessment. Since any evaluation will also involve ``professional judgment,'' a section providing guidance is included. Both consultants and clients will find this standard to be a useful source of information on assessing building envelope systems
