$540.00

This software product supports the application of ASTM's AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) standard practice (E 1765) for performing multiattribute decision analysis to evaluate buildings and building systems. It includes a comprehensive list of building-related attributes (developed by ASTM Subcommittee E06.25 and E06.81) in a glossary from which users can select attributes of interest when evaluating their building decision.

The model-building feature allows the user to "slice" away those attributes not wanted to create a model of remaining attributes that best represent the userÆs unique problem. Any attributes important to the user, whether or not they are included in the building-related attribute glossary, can be added to the model structure.

The accompanying manual covers:
• AHP in Building-Related
• Typical Applications of the Software
• Unique Features of the Building-Related AHP Software Package
• Glossary of Attributes for Evaluating Office Buildings
• Case Illustration of Software Application to Choosing Office Building.

System Requirements: IBM or IBM compatible PC (preferable 486-25SX or above); hard disk storage of at least 10 MB; Windows 3.1 or later; VGA Color Monitor; printer; mouse (optional); MS-DOS compatible DOS version 5.0 or later
