Functional Unit Clause Samples

Functional Unit. Off Duty Jobs i. Design, requirements, acceptance test criteria (6) ii. Development (8)

Functional Unit. In the event of loss or destruction of part of any combination of separate items of covered property comprising a functional unit, whether the items are at the same location or not, which renders the remaining part or parts of the unit unusable, the Insurers agrees to indemnify the participant for the full value of such functional unit.

Functional Unit. As mentioned previously, the functional unit is the reference in which all data of the life cycle assessment is expressed. The functional unit for the environmental analysis of the HAPPENING system will be taken as the total amount of energy generated and delivered (in kWh) to the building (by the HAPPENING system) for a reference study period of 50 years.

Functional Unit. Functional unit is defined by which appointing authority has or designates the responsibility to evaluate the employee’s performance by geographic area to which the employee is assigned.

Functional Unit. Functional unit is defined as: a) Douglas County

Functional Unit. It is defined as “quantified performance of a product system for use as a reference unit” (ISO 14040, 2006). The components of the Prefab kit, the Foldable one and the Wallpaper have different sizes and, probably, different life spans. In order to design and compare the three designed kits, the functional unit for the LCA study was determined to be the dimension of 3 m2 (1m long x 3 m high), the same one will be built up for the test facade. The material masses of each internal retrofitting kit (the flow chart) were calculated based on the designed details. The total material input of each kit for the functional unit was calculated by multiplying the individual mass of each component with required number to build a 3 m2 internal retrofitting system.

Functional Unit. The definition of a functional unit is a fundamental step of an LCA study for conducting meaningful comparisons and assessments. However, there is a lack of consensus and structure in the current FU definition framework, leading to variability in LCA results [14]. The ton-kilometer (ton*km) resulted as the predominant functional unit employed within the investigated LCA studies (Figure 8) and represents the payload of the goods transported multiplied by the lifetime of the vehicle in km.

Functional Unit. Any organizational component within the Department of Corrections responsible for the delivery of services or coordination of program operations.

Functional Unit. In TCO studies, the Functional Unit (FU) assumes a pivotal role. It serves to quantify the function of a product or service, thereby providing a reference basis for the computation of the total cost. The FU offers a standard measure that facilitates the comparison of different technologies with varying costs, ensuring that such comparisons and assessments are fair, relevant, and meaningful. Upon analyzing various TCO studies, it becomes evident that the majority present the TCO in monetary units, without the selection of a specific functional unit [45], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], etc. As delineated in Figure 21, an analysis of over twenty studies reveals that no functional unit is chosen. A limited number of studies opt for the distance unit (kilometers for studies conducted in Europe and miles for those in the USA or UK) [58], [59], [60], [61], [62], [63], [64], etc., while a few studies do not report it at all [65]. Notably, none of the studies report the functional unit of distance per mass (km*kg or km*t), which is the unit proposed in the project proposal. Given that the project pertains to freight transport, the volume of goods transported is a crucial factor to assess and consider. To align the two assessments, both LCA and TCO should adopt the same functional unit, in this case, km*t. This alignment is essential to ensure consistency and comparability across the assessments.
