ABSTRACT

This Interim Report lists international, regional (multi-national), and

national standards dealing with the principles and practical application

of modular and dimensional coordination in building, including joints

and tolerances.

The document shows the widespread adoption of the international building

module (M) , of 100 mm, as a basis for dimensional standardization in

building design, production and construction. The listing comprises a total of 26 international and regional standards (ISO, COPANT, ICAITI)

,

and well over 500 foreign national standards. Where available, brief

summaries of contents have been included, as well as titles or subtitles

in English. Appendixes are included to illustrate international cooperation on the subject, and include a multi-lingual vocabulary for twenty

of the key terms used in modular coordination.

The main purpose of the report is to assist the U.S. building and con- struction community with information on international precedent and thus

facilitate decisionmaking relative to standards for dimensional (modular)

coordination in building. The document may also aid exporters of building

products and/or technical services.

The Interim Report will be submitted to foreign national standards bodies

for review and amplification in those areas where incomplete information

is available; and a revised version will be issued.

Key words

:

Building module; dimensional coordination; metric design and

construction; modular coordination; standards.

PREFACE

The need for an agreed system of cLLm2.nAi.0nal noordination in building ha

s

been recognized in all countries where the. tzchniaal d2.v2lopm2.nt 0 f the

building industry hat, reached a certain level of mechanization , im.2Ap2.ctive

of the country '

a

economic, Aocial or technical policies in other fields.

The AyAtematic A election of coordinating dimenAionA derived from a baAic

module becomeA the generally accepted meant for the coordination 0 f prefabricated components and site-produced elements and , simultaneously , the

rationalization of the range of component sizes

.

It has been recognized that some aspects of modern building technology in

different countries are tending to converge as greater industrialization is

introduced into the building process. A popular area of convergence is

that encompassing building dimensions and product sizes. Therefore, much

could be gained by reaching international agreements on common approaches to

dimensional coordination, based on a generally agreed building module, as mil as selected preferred multiples of such a module, during the past

30 years, there has been significant international collaboration in the

development of concepts and standards for dimensional/modular coordination.

The basic module of 100 mm, which in international standards is also represented by the symbol 1 M' , has emerged as the universally preferred basic

unit of size, and has been given greater weight by its endorsement during the

conversion to metric units in English-speaking countries. It generally has

been found in these countries that the change to metric dimensional coordination in conjunction w.lth the change to SI is what really makes the conversion

effort worthwhile in the construction community.

The ideas that have led to dimensional coordination in building were pioneered in the United States. The first standards dealing with the coordination of dimensions , based on the 4” building module, were issued in 1945.

The impending change to SI in the U.S. offers the building community the

great opportunity to combine the dimensional coordination experience at

the national and international level with the conversion process. The fact

that the U.S. is the last major nation to adopt the metric system gives it

the unique chance to develop up-to-date, simple, and internationally com- patible standards for dimensional coordination in building.

As a first step in this process, it is desirable to assess the extent of

international, regional (multi-national) , and national standardization in

this subject area around the world. This document is intended to provide a reference base listing standards on dimensional/modular coordination, derived

product standards showing coordinating sizes, and drawing practice standards

witch include techniques of communication in dimensional coordination.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During the detailed examination of international, regional, and a large number of

national standards dealing with modular or dimensional coordination in building,

including joints and tolerances, a number of findings were made that provide some useful guidelines for the development of U.S. standards and reference documents

on dimensional coordination in metric units. These key findings are:

1. The principles of modular or dimensional coordination in building, based on the internationally agreed building module of 100 mm and selected multiples,

can be found in the national standards of 52 countries for which data were

available

.

2. The distinctions between the terms "modular coordination" and "dimensional

coordination" in building have been obscured. In general, dimensional coordination comprises a wider field of application of dimensional control and it

includes functional spaces, coordinating sizes for building components and

elements, joints, tolerances and fits, and limits of size. In dimensional

coordination, the coordinating or controlling planes are determined by

functional considerations and may or may not coincide with a modular grid.

The great majority of national standards, as well as international standards,

exhibit a preference for the term "modular coordination."

3. The effect of ISO recommendations (issued since 1969) and ISO standards

(issued since 1973) has been significant. The full or near-complete adoption

of material from ISO standards in many national standards —especially in the

standards of developing nations —is evidence of greater worldwide convergence

in dimensional factors relating to building technology. This effect is

likely to continue, so that national standards that were issued prior to

ISO standards can be expected to be amended and updated to take into account

international developments when they are next reviewed.

4. Modular and dimensional coordination standards cover five broad areas:

a. fundamental principles, including definitions, and guidelines for

application in design, production and construction;

b. space standards based on preferred (modular) dimensions;

c. product and component standards based on preferred (modular) sizes;

d. application standards dealing with joints, production/construction

tolerances and fits, and limits of size; and,

e. drawing practice.

viii
5. While there is broad agreement on the basic principles that underlie

modular coordination in design and its practical application in production

and construction, the standards of individual countries show some degree of

divergence in dimensional preferences for controlling dimensions for floorto-floor heights (story heights) and floor-to-ceiling heights (room heights).

At the international level, a proposed ISO standard on "Multimodules for

vertical co-ordinating dimensions" (proposed ISO 2849) reached print proof

stage in 1973, but was never issued. Three countries expressed disapproval

on technical grounds, and the U.S. did not register a vote.

6. Some national standards on modular or dimensional coordination exemplify

special approaches or modifications of ISO recommendations that are noteworthy . Britain, for example, has based building dimensions and sizes on a first

preference dimension of 300 mm, rather than 100 mm (second preference) , and

has avoided the use of the term modular coordination until recently. The

first standard with the term modular coordination in the title is BS 5578:

Part 3:1978, "Modular coordination: Specification for coordinating dimensions

for stairs and stair openings," which agrees in full with ISO Standard 3881.

Germany, for many years, was a proponent of the octametric module (125 mm)

in building applications, but is now transferring to a preference for the

international building module of 100 mm. Many product standards are still

influenced by the earlier octametric preferences.

The Netherlands has taken a novel and different approach to coordination

by suggesting that position coordination is a key factor in building design

and construction, and the Netherlands Standard 2880-1977 illustrates a coordinating system based on tartan grids (band grids) for the rigorous

positioning of element groups in building. The merits of this specific

approach to planning and building remain to be seen.

7. The most comprehensive application of modular concepts is evident in the

building standards of Scandinavian countries, where modular dimensions have

become an integral part of building and building products geometry. Sweden

leads the field with a total of 70 standards issued during the past 10 years

which deal with the principles and practical application of modular coordination .

8. Recent national standards on modular or dimensional coordination exhibit a

%drift away from the use of the symbol M to denote the building module, and

IX
nearly all of these standards favor dimensions expressed in millimeters (mm)

for direct application in practice.

In many foreign national standards, recent revisions indicate a growing

preference for the use of millimeters (mm) in building and building product

specifications and drawings, thus replacing earlier references to a basic

building module of 10 centimeters (cm) or 1 decimeter (dm) with references

to a basic module of 100 mm.

9 . In some countries, national standards for modular or dimensional coordination in building are emphasized further by way of reference in national

building regulations or codes, or by way of mandatory application of such

standards in governmental building projects or building projects funded

with public funds.

10. All nations that have recently changed from a measurement system based on English units to metric (SI) units, have combined this change with a move

to a comprehensive system of dimensional coordination in building, based

on the 100 mm basic module—except Britain, where this dimension is a second preference to a 300 mm basic size.

Because of the many similarities in building technology, Canada provides the

most interesting precedent in its approach to metric dimensional coordination in building, and an in-depth study of the proposals is contained in the

Canadian Series of Standards for "Metric Dimensional Coordination in

Building," CAN 3-A. 31.M-75

.

Background

This publication shows that standards on dimensional or modular coordination

r\ in building, based on the internationally agreed 100 mm module , form an integral part of the technical data bank for construction in most countries.

In some countries, the application of such standards is mandated in the

national building regulations.

International standards and recommendations dealing with dimensional and

modular coordination in building have been developed under the auspices of

the International Organization for Standardization [ISO] , and published since

1969.3 This work in ISO falls under the jurisdiction of Technical Committee

[TC] 59, Building Construction, and its various Subcommittees [SC] and

Working Groups [WG].

1

* At present, TC 59 comprises 53 member nations, 30 of

which are actively participating in the work. 5 Many member nations have

adopted the ISO standards on dimensional and modular coordination in part or

in full, have referenced them in their recent standards, or are generally in

accordance with the content of the ISO standards. 6 In addition to ISO, there

are various regional and sub-regional standards groups working on unified

recommendations for dimensional or modular coordination among their member

countries

.

Dimensional coordination in building has also been the subject of a number of

studies and reports sponsored by the United Nations, and forms part of the

policy statement of the United Nations - Economic Commission for Europe

[UN/ECE] project on the harmonization of building regulations among the 34

member governments.'7 Most of the development work on international standards

on the subject is now carried out within Working Commission W-24, Dimensional

and Modular Coordination, of the International Council for Building Research

Studies and Documentation [CIB].

1 In recent years, the distinction between "dimensional" and "modular" coordination has become

obscured. In general, dimensional coordination can be interpreted as a comprehensive approach

to the coordination of building geometry and building products through common dimensional

preferences, including tolerances, limits and fit£, and joints. "Modular coordination" is defined in ISO Standard 1791-1973 as "dimensional coordination based on the 100 mm module."

2 In some countries, the basic module is referred to as 10 cm or 1 dm module, and/or associated

with the symbol M. The use of millimeters eliminates the need for decimal or modular fractions.

3 ISO standards on modular coordination are listed and abstracted in Part 1 of this publication.-

4 A complete list of subcommittees and working groups comprising ISO TC 59 is shown in Appendix 1.

5 A complete list participating nations is shown in Appendix 2. 6 A matrix showing the adoption or referencing of ISO standards on modular coordination in

national standards has been developed and is included in Part 9 of this publication.

7 The policy states, inter alia: "to promote the uniform adoption and use of a fully developed

system of dimensional coordination."

1
Purpose of the Document

The principal purpose of this publication is to develop a comprehensive and

up-to-date listing of all international, multi-national, as well as significant

national standards on the subject of dimensional/modular coordination in

building and practical application to preferred dimensions of components and

assemblies used in dimensionally coordinated building.

The listing is also intended to identify, with the assistance of national

standards bodies, to what extent ISO standards are followed or referenced in

national standards and so provide an indication of international harmonization

in this subject area. It is recognized that, for historical or technological

reasons, some nations have developed special approaches to dimensional/modular

coordination, and/or altered the selection of preferred dimensions and sizes

for use in their particular industrial environment. It is planned to provide

explanations for such divergences wherever possible.

The document may be useful to ISO TC 59 in the technical review and periodic

revision of existing standards, required under the general rules of ISO every

five years. Similarly, it may assist national standards organizations in the

revision and updating of dimensional/modular coordination standards dating

from the pre-ISO standards era.

Another major purpose of the document is to assist the U.S. construction

community in the development of national standards for dimensional coor- dination in building, based on the international building module of 100 mm,

which has already received general endorsement by groups concerned with metric

planning and metric standards development. An awareness of international and

foreign national standards on dimensional coordination in building should make

it possible to develop U.S. standards in harmony with international precedent

and so to further opportunities for U.S. building products and equipment, and

design and construction services in other countries.

The following groups are targeted as users of this document: standards writers

and standardization committees; design professionals, contractors, and building

materials or systems manufacturers with international work projects; research

and development groups concerned with dimensional aspects in building; and

lecturers or instructors in dimensionally coordinated building technology.

2
Structure of the Document

The document is structured into ten parts. Parts 1 to 8 provide listings of

international, regional and sub-regional, and national standards dealing with

dimensional/modular coordination, dimensional standards for building elements,

assemblies and components including tolerances, fits and joints, and references

on building drawing practice standards that include drawing techniques for use with dimensional coordination. Part 9 illustrates a matrix designed to show the

degree of adoption or referencing of ISO standards on modular coordination in

national standards. Part 10 provides a multilingual glossary of terms for use with dimensional coordination.

for reference purposes only, as all dimensions relate to U.S. customary

units and the use of the 4" (101.6 mm) module.

However, ANSI/ASTM E577-76, "Standard for Dimensional Coordination of

Rectilinear Building Parts and Systems," which introduced the concept of

a basic incremental dimension (U) in lieu of the module (M) , contains

the following note: "For dimensional coordination in SI units, the basic

incremental dimension, U, shall have the value of 100 mm; for dimensional

coordination in U.S. customary units, the basic incremental dimension, U,

shall have the value of 4 in."

Part 9 provides a matrix designed to indicate the degree of acceptance of key

ISO standards on modular coordination, listed in Part 1, in various

countries, the extent of referencing of ISO standards in national

standards, and the extent of harmony with recommendations in ISO

standards where these are neither accepted in full or in part, or referenced.

The matrix also shows which nations have expressed their approval or disapproval [on technical grounds] of the ISO standards, as listed in

the respective forewords

.

Part 10 discusses vocabularies (glossaries of terms) for modular coordination

in building, and provides references to multi-lingual standards or vocabularies issued by various countries. This comparison has been

extended in Appendix 4, a multi-lingual vocabulary of 20 key terms.

of modular elements] (102 pages A4)

[Supersedes NEN 5700 and NEN 5701]

The standard brings a novel and fundamentally different

approach to modular coordination, which is the result of

the development of proposals by the Foundation for Architectural Research [SAR] , and their application in various

housing projects over a decade.

The concepts revolve around the use of a [modular] tartan

grid (or band grid) , with specific rules for the positioning

of element groups and junctions between elements (joints)

The standard is well illustrated.

The standard claims to be in accord with ISO 1006, 1040,

R 1790, 1791, and 2848.

American National Standards Institute [ANSI]

Background

Work on American Standards for the coordination of dimensions of building materials

and equipment—Project A62 —commenced in 1939, under the auspices of the American

Standards Association. In 1945, the first of a series of standards dealing with

dimensional coordination in foot-inch units, was published: "American Standard

.asis for the Coordination of Dimensions of Building Materials and Equipment,"

under the designation A62. 1-1945 [Revised 1957].

Subsequently, the A62 series of standards was expanded to a total of 8 standards

by 1971.

In 1974, the work on standards for the coordination of dimensions in building was transferred to the American Society for Testing and Materials [ASTM] , and a new Subcommittee E-6.62, Coordination of Dimensions for Building Materials and Systems, was formed within the main Committee E-6, Performance of Building Constructions,

to continue the development of standards for dimensional coordination.

One standard has been issued under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E-6, designated ANSI/ASTM E 577-76 (Published January 1977), "Standard for Dimensional Coordination of Rectilinear Building Parts and Systems." This standard introduces the

concept of a basic incremental dimension, U, to be applied as a standard increment

and as spacing in the standard grid.. In the standard, U is assigned the value 4 in.

in U.S. customary units, and 100 mm in SI units. Preferences are expressed in terms

of U only.

Standards on Dimensional Coordination in Building [U.S. customary units]:

A62. 1-1957 American Standard Basis for the Coordination of Dimensions of Building

PART 9 INTERNATIONAL (ISO) STANDARDS AND NATIONAL STANDARDS: VOTING BY

NATIONAL MEMBER BODIES, DEGREE OF ADOPTION OF ISO STANDARDS, AND

REFERENCING OF ISO STANDARDS.

General

This Part addresses the impact of international standards and recommendations

on national standards dealing with modular or dimensional coordination and

associated subjects. A matrix has been designed to show, in graphic form, the

voting results of member bodies on the 15 main ISO standards in this subject

area; the degree of adoption or concurrence of ISO standards in national

standards; and, the degree of referencing of ISO standards in national standards

published subsequent to their issue.

Voting on ISO Standards

The Foreword to each ISO standard provides a listing of approvals, or disapprovals on technical grounds, by voting member nations on the standard or recommendation(s) on which the standard is based. [In the case of ISO standard

1040-1973, two previous recommendations, R 1040/1-1969 and R 1040/11-1970, were

combined]

.

The matrix in Figure 9.1 indicates that a total of 4_4 member nations recorded

a vote on one or more of the 15 ISO standards listed, with 7 nations voting on

all. Approvals are indicated by a lowercase ja in the first column of the

appropriate box in the matrix; similarly, disapproval on technical grounds is

indicated by a lowercase d_. The following listing gives a tally of voting by

all countries

Although a national member body of ISO may have registered a vote on a particular ISO standard, this does not mean that this standard has been or will be

adopted in full or in part at the national level, or will even be considered

for adoption. However, it generally indicates that the responsible national

standards committee has examined the contents of the ISO document and expressed

a judgment as to the acceptability of that contents. In a number of instances,

national standards predate the corresponding ISO documents and, therefore, may

or may not be in conflict with the ISO recommendations.

In time, and with revisions of national standards on modular or dimensional

coordination and associated subjects, or new work, a wider acceptance of the

ISO concepts, format, and technical contents can be exptected.

Adoption of ISO Standards and Recommendations, Concurrence, and Referencing

In national standards that have been issued since the publication of corresponding ISO standards, it is possible to assess the degree of adoption of ISO

recommendations. This may range from negligible in some instances, to partial

or substantial in most instances, to complete adoption in some cases; for

example in Cyprus national standards.

The matrix in Figure 9.1 has been designed to indicate, by means of a critical

judgment at the national standards level—through an appropriate questionnaire

the degree of adoption of ISO standards, or concurrence with such standards

where national standards predate ISO documents. The following key is used in

the second column of the appropriate box in the matrix:

A = Complete adoption of ISO standard in national standard(s)

B = Substantial adoption of ISO standard in national standard(s), with some addition or deletion of material

C = Partial adoption of ISO standard in national standard(s) with considerable

addition of material

D = National standard(s) do not reference ISO standard, but are NOT in conflict

E = National standard(s) are in conflict with ISO standard or recommendation.

Where an ISO standard is referenced in the text or the explanations to a national standard or group of national standards on the same subject, this is

indicated by means of a capital R in the third column of the appropriate box

in the matrix.

R = ISO standard is referenced or mentioned in national standard(s)

A blank space in the matrix indicates either the absence of information or the absence of a national standard on the subject. It is expected that the

matrix will be filled in to a much greater extent after national standards

organizations have had an opportunity to comment on the document. An earlier

version of the matrix was made available to a selection of standards bodies

and the entries shown for Denmark and the Netherlands reflect replies received

from the Dansk StandardiseringsrSd and the Nederlands Normalisatie Instituut

in January 1979. Information given for a sample of other countries is based

on the perusal of their national standards and unofficial value judgments.

PART 10 VOCABULARY

At the international level, the International Organization for Standardization

[ISO] has issued three international standards that provide a modular

vocabulary in English and French :

ISO 1791-December 1973 Modular co-ordination—Vocabulary

Coordination modulaire—Vocabulaire

ISO 1 80 3-November 1973 Tolerances for Building—Vocabulary

Tolerances pour le batiment—Vocabulaire

ISO 2444-November 1974 Joints in building—Vocabulary

(Joints dans le batiment—Vocabulaire)

The unification and harmonization of terminology, through agreed vocabularies,

is a major step in the wider international application and compatibility of

modular coordination. At this stage, English, French, and Russian are the

three official ISO languages, although few ISO standards are as yet printed

in Russian. The listing in Appendix 3 shows the languages in which national

standards of different nations are issued, indicating that apart from English

and French a number of other European languages are used in more than one country; for example, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Italian.

To facilitate the reference of national standards, ISO has recommended that

English (and/or French) subtitles be shown in standards issued in other

languages. This practice is gaining wider acceptance and will assist in much

greater dissemination of technical information. Under the provisions of

ISONET, an international standards information system set up by ISO, member

nations will provide a list of all national standards, preferably in English

and French.

In the dissemination of standards dealing with modular coordination and

associated subjects in building, a number of trends have been discerned

which will assist in better exchanges of information on that subject.

Some countries, such as Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Israel, and Japan, to name

a few, provide informal or authorized English translations of some of their

standards on modular coordination. This practice is particularly useful,

where the national language uses symbols or alphabets other than the Roman

alphabet

.

Countries that issue national standards in more than one language

for

example, Belgium, Canada, South Africa, or Switzerland—thereby facilitate

the wider understanding of these documents.

93
A number of countries have issued national standards which set down terms

used in modular coordination in several languages. Such documents could

provide an excellent starting point for a multi-lingual vocabulary dealing

with modular coordination in building.

The following multi-national or national standards deserve particular

mention

1. Modular Coordination in Building. Vocabulary [Nordic Countries]

A cooperative effort by four Scandinavian countries to issue a common

vocabulary in Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, English and French,

based upon ISO 1791-1973, with the deletion of some terms and the

attachment of ISO 1791 in its entirety as an appendix.

The Danish, Norwegian and Swedish versions are in accord, and the

Finnish version is generally in agreement.

The national standards and their titles are:

Denmark: DS 1010.1-1975, Modulkoordinering for byggeriet. Terminologi

Finland: SFS 3501-1975, Moduulij arjestely . Kasitteisto. Pohjoismainen

Norway: NS 1000

Sweden: SIS 050100-1975, Modulkoordinering. Terminologi

2. Modular Coordination in Building. Terminology [Netherlands]

Although dating from the pre-ISO standards era, and largely superseded

by NEN 2880 and 2881, the Nederlands Norms (Netherlands Standards) NEN

5701-1974 and 5702-1965 contain a multi-lingual word list of terms in

Dutch, English, French and German for terms used in modular coordination

and tolerances in building.

The national standards and their titles are:

NEN 5701-1964, Modulaire coordinatie bij het bouwen. Terminologie

NEN 5702-1965, Modulaire coordinatie bij het bouwen. Tolerantiestelsel

Begripsbepalingen

3 . Modular Coordination in Building. Terms and Definitions [Germany]

DIN 18 000 Teil 2, Modulordnung im Bauwesen—Begriffe, March 1976

The standard contains terms in German, English and French for 11 of the

terms given in ISO 1791-1973, as well as definitions and illustrations

for these terms.

4. Modular Coordination in Building . Glossary [Greece]

Although an early modular coordination document, Greek national standard

ENO P 01-001-1959, consists entirely of a multi-lingual vocabulary of

terms used in modular coordination, showing these terms in French,

English, German, Italian, and Greek. Only the Greek terms are shown in

the Greek alphabet so that the list provides an excellent cross-reference.

94
5 . Terminology: Dimensional Coordinations, Modular Coordination

Terminology: Measurements, Tolerances, Fits [Switzerland]

SNV 501 501 - 1969, Terminologie : Massordnungen , Modul-Ordnung

Terminologie : Coordinations dimens i one lies

,

Coordination modulaire

Terminologia : Coordinazioni dimensionali

,

Coordinazione modulare

SNV 502 502 - 1969, Terminologie: Massbezeichnungen , Toleranzen,

Passungen

Terminologie: Cotes, tolerances, ajustements

Terminologia: Misure, Tolleranze, accoppiamenti

These tri-lingual standards contain illustrated glossaries of terms

used in dimensional and modular coordination, tolerances and fits, in

German, French and Italian, as well as English translations of these

terms, and a bibliography on the subject matter covered.

Appendix 4 has been developed to list the principal terms used in modular

coordination in building, including joints and tolerances, in the major

languages, with the object to simplify the technical interpretaion of terms

and illustrations in the standards of different nations. Appendixes 4.1,

4.2, and 4.3 list 14 selected terms from ISO 1791-1973, "Modular Coordination

Vocabulary," and Appendix 4.4 lists 6 selected terms from ISO 1803 -1973,

"Tolerances for Building—Vocabulary."

Prepared as part of a basic analysis of international precedent in dimensional/

modular coordination and impact on U.S. metric planning in the building industry.

[~ I Document describes a computer program; SF-185, FIPS Software Summary, is attached.

16. ABSTRACT (A 200-word or leas factual summary of most significant information. If document includes a significant bibliography or

literature survey, mention it here.)

. . \ • This Interim Report lists international, regional (multi-national), and national

standards dealing with the principles and practical application of modular and dimensional coordination in building, including joints and tolerances.

The document shows the widespread adoption of the international building module (M)

,

of 100 mm, as a basis for dimensional standardization in building design, production,

and construction. The listing comprises a total of 26 international and regional

standards (ISO, COPANT, ICAITI) , and well over 500 foreign national standards. Where

available, brief summaries of contents have been included, as well as titles or subtitles in English. Appendixes are included to illustrate international cooperation on the subject, and include a multi-lingual vocabulary for twenty of the key terms used

in modular coordination.

The main purpose of the report is to assist the U.S. building and construction community

with information on international precedent and thus facilitate decisionmaking relative

to standards for dimensional (modular) coordination in building. The document may also

aid exporters of building products and/or technical services.

The Interim Report will be submitted to foreign national standards bodies for review

and amplification in those areas where incomplete information is available; and a revised version will be issued.

17. KEY WORDS (si* to twelve entries; alphabetical order; capitalize only the first letter of the first key word unless a proper name

separated by semicolons)

Building module; dimensional coordination; metric design and construction;

modular coordination; standards.
