Requirements Composer: User's Manual

Abstract

Facility Composer is a suite of tools for use by facility planners, designers, and engineers during the initial phases of facility planning and design. In Facility Composer, customer-specific and computable criteria are associated with a growing facility model that continues throughout the life cycle of the facility. Facility Composer's ability to maintain a linkage between criteria and project elements (site, building, story, etc.) is beneficial in that it: (1) helps in defining criteria and recording their rationale; (2) helps ensure that critical criteria are followed, and that desired characteristics are recorded and addressed; (3) helps organize criteria and makes them available at their point of use; and (4) simplifies creation, maintenance, and distribution of new criteria. This work has developed user documentation for the Requirements Composer application, to help users develop corporate and building specific criteria libraries.
