    A Allocation of costs is the transfer of costs from one cost item to one or more other cost items. Allowance - a value in an estimate to cover the cost of known but not yet fully defined work. As-sold estimate - the estimate which matches the agreed items and price for the project scope. B Basis of estimate (BOE) - a document which describes the scope basis, pricing basis, methods ...

    In radio astronomy, the unit of electromagnetic flux is the jansky (symbol Jy), equivalent to 10 −26 watts per square metre per hertz (= 10 −26 kg/s 2 in base units, about 8.8×10 −31 BTU/ft 2). It is named after the pioneering radio astronomer Karl Jansky. The brightest natural radio sources have flux densities of the order of one to one ...

    Basically NHER measure the energy efficiency of dwellings as a function of energy cost per square meter. The energy usage is calculated by considering the all aspects of buildings (location, design, construction, water heating, cooking, ventilation and appliances, lighting etc.) and for dwelling energy rating it use some standard assumptions ...
