Description
The document starts with a brief introduction to the various target groups, and how they can use the system. The main part of the guidelines consists of brief reviews of the various parts of the quality assurance work: starting from establishment of the actual quality assurance system itself, and applying it in day-to-day work, including ideas, retrofitting and administration of the housing stock, attempting to express the formal requirements of the quality assurance system in more practical terms. These sections are complemented by a number of appendices, bringing together checklists, procedural descriptions and templates, together with guidance on appropriate methods of calculations, measurement and instrumentation.
