    ASTM Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings

    "ASTM Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings was formed in 1946. E06 meets twice a year, usually in April and October, with approximately 220 members attending three to four days of technical meetings. The committee, with current membership of approximately 850, currently has jurisdiction of over 170 standards, published in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Volume 04.11. These standards have and continue to play a preeminent role in the building industry and address issues relating to the performance of buildings, their elements, components, and the description, measurement, prediction, improvement and management of the overall performance of buildings and building related facilities.
