Designation:E303515Standard 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.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,attributes,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 management 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 E1557 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,depending 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 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 requirements1.3 The classification seeks to define a larger universe ofattributes,products,and characteristics that may define itsfunctional use and life cycle cost.1.4 The classification also provides a logical database struc-ture for the implementation of related Real Property Manage-ment applications and business processes such as:(1)Building Information Modeling(BIM)Technologies(2)Smart Building Technologies(3)Sustainability(4)Computerized Maintenance Management Systems(CMMS)(5)Facility Asset Management Systems(6)Property Condition Assessment(7)Real Property Development(8)Project Management Systems(9)Cost Planning,Estimating,and Control Procedures1.5 Use of the classification provides a consistent means foranalysis,evaluation,monitoring,and reporting during the lifeof the asset,from planning through design,construction,operations,maintenance,rehabilitation,and disposal.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E833 Terminology of Building EconomicsE917 Practice for Measuring Life-Cycle Costs of Buildingsand Building SystemsE1334 Practice for Rating the Serviceability of a Building orBuilding-Related Facility(Withdrawn 2013)31This classification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 onPerformance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.81on Building Economics.Current edition approved Oct.1,2015.Published November 2015.DOI:10.1520/E3035-152For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 E1369 Guide for Selecting Techniques for Treating Uncer-tainty and Risk in the Economic Evaluation of Buildingsand Building SystemsE1480 Terminology of Facility Management(Building-Related)E1557 Classification for Building Elements and RelatedSiteworkUNIFORMAT IIE1670 Classification for Serviceability of an Office Facilityfor Management of Operations and MaintenanceE1699 Practice for Performing Value Engineering(VE)/Value Analysis(VA)of Projects,Products and ProcessesE1946 Practice for Measuring Cost Risk of Buildings andBuilding Systems and Other Constructed ProjectsE2013 Practice for Constructing FAST Diagrams and Per-forming Function Analysis During Value Analysis StudyE2018 Guide for Pro
