Full title and description
Designation: E1480 − 92 (Reapproved 2022) — Standard Terminology of Facility Management (Building‑Related). This ASTM terminology standard provides a concise, alphabetically arranged set of terms and definitions used to describe, measure, predict, improve, and manage buildings and building‑related facilities. It is intended for both technical experts and non‑expert users engaged in building performance and facility management activities.
Abstract
ASTM E1480 defines standard vocabulary for facility management (building‑related) to promote clear communication across building owners, facility managers, designers, and standards developers. The terminology is subsidiary to the broader ASTM Terminology E631 and cross‑references related ASTM terminologies and practices to ensure consistency in describing building performance, spaces, systems, and management concepts.
