Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
Rate double The percentage of waste expected during construction, expressed as a value between 0 and 1. -
Name string The name of the material to which the waste rate applies. -

Name Type Description Quantity
BHoM_Guid Guid - -
Fragments FragmentSet - -
Tags HashSet<string> - -
CustomData Dictionary<string, object> - -

Derived properties

The following properties are defined as extension methods in one of the BHoM_Engines

Name Type Description Quantity Engine
WasteFactor double The waste factor WFi is calculated by converting the waste rate WRi (a percentage of the quantity of materials brought to the site that are wasted) to the quantity of materials wasted on site as a percentage of the material quantities used in the final asset (Eqn. 2.5 from IStructE guidance). - LifeCycleAssessment_Engine
