Abstract
By this point in the conference we have heard and discussed the impact of the performance concept at a couple of different levels or scales and for several different applications. We have talked about the performance concept in relation to building materials, in relation to building components, in relation to systems within buildings, and in relation to the organization of many systems wihtin a complete building.
