	Performance envelope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In aerodynamics, the performance envelope of an aircraft refers to the capabilies of a design in terms of speed and altitude.
		Performance envelope is one of a number of related terms that are all use in a similar fashion.
		General aviation aircraft have very small performance envelopes, with speeds ranging from perhaps 50 to 200mph, whereas the extra power available to modern fighter aircraft result in huge performance envelopes with many times the area.

	DOE Building Technologies Program: Building Envelope
		The building envelope is a critical component of any facility since it both protects the building occupants and plays a major role in regulating the indoor environment.
		The building envelope can be considered the selective pathway for a building to work with the climate-responding to heating, cooling, ventilating, and natural lighting needs.
		Envelope design is a major factor in determining the amount of energy a building will use in its operation.

	Efficient high performance envelope detector with controlled decay envelope detection - Patent 4370620
		Envelope detector circuits are variously used in many electrical systems, to detect the DC voltage level that represents the peak amplitudes of a corresponding signal.
		For example, in professional audio tape recorders, envelope detector circuits are used to obtain a constantly varying DC level corresponding to the amplitude of the envelope of an amplitude modulated reproduced signal.
		A further object is to provide an envelope detector which generates a convex upward decay voltage which essentially holds the output voltage level within a selectable percentage of the initial input voltage level, for a given period of time such as, for example, longer than the worst expected tape dropout interval.

	WBDG: Introduction
		The envelope is also a critical system in the determination of the overall performance of the building, with an emphasis on the thermal environment, lighting and acoustical characteristics.
		Acoustic performance for the exterior is the responsibility of the wall system and, to a lesser extent, the fenestration, while daylight transmission and control is the responsibility of the fenestration and the roof (if there are skylights, although these will be designed by the fenestration designers).
		Thus the systems and assemblies of the envelope are one of the four main parts of the building both in terms of their physical existence and in their contribution to overall building performance.

	Fundamental Series Item : Building Envelope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The term building envelope generally refers to those building components that enclose conditioned spaces and through which thermal energy is transferred to or from the outdoor environment.
		These materials affect the thermal performance of the assembly to the extent that the resistance of the penetrating material is significantly different than the resistance of the insulation.
		Infiltration is uncontrolled inward air leakage through cracks in an envelope element and around windows and doors of a building, caused by the effects of wind pressure and the differences in the outdoor and indoor air density.

	RRG Research Condition Based Maintenance
		The residuals between an actuator’s healthy performance envelope, its required performance envelope, and the envelope associated with its current condition are converted to DM criteria that are intuitively understandable (e.g.
		Generally, the same performance criteria that were used in determining which actuator to spec for a job will be the same criteria used by the DM/CBM system to determine if the actuator is able to continue doing its job.
		The performance envelope generator uses the estimated parameters to generate a steady state torque vs. speed vs. efficiency performance envelope, which represents the assessed condition of the actuator.

		Although the envelope in itself is a crucial element for the overall performance of the building, the interaction with other building components and the climatic control systems are of equal importance.
		Therefore, the emphasis of the Annex is on the overall performance of the building seen from the perspective of the envelope.

		The envelope of performance of the motors depicts the max duration and duty cycle of operations of the motors.The limiting factor is thermal assuring the motor temperature doesn’t exceed a maximum rated value.
		One should bear in mind that the eop in vacuum which is described in each manual assumes ambient temperature of 25 C. In case the ambient temperature in vacuum is higher the envelope of performance should be reduced.
		For the LS motor series, the criteria is different, as the maximum velocity is limited to 20mm/sec, and the useful travel is 1500 KM, but the most important feature of the LS motor series is the ability to do as many as 1 billion step and settle motions with high resolution.

		With this amount of extra power the aircraft can climb straight up, make powerful continual manuvers, or fly at very high speeds.
		Likewise higher altitude can be reached by first speeding up and the going ballistic, a manuever known as a zoom climb.
		This is because when the plane is not flying at the edges of the envelope, its extra power will be greater, and that means more power for things like climbing or manuvering.

		The key to most aircraft performance is a figure known as extra power, which refers to the amount of power the engines can supply over and above what is needed to simply fly straight and level.
		The amount of extra power varies widely as the initial conditions are changed, for instance most aircraft engines generate less power at increased altitude because they don't have as much air to burn, thereby leading to less extra power.
		Although it is easy to compare aircraft on simple numbers such as speed or altitude, an examination of the performance envelope will reveal far more information.

	Commissioning and Monitoring the Building Envelope for Air Leakage (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation)
		To apply commissioning concepts to an air barrier system, the performance requirements of the installed system need to be established and methods need to be developed for evaluating the design to ensure that, if constructed as designed, the intended performance will be achieved.
		If the building envelope does not pass the final test, a specialist is retained, at the contractor's expense, to investigate and identify the locations of extraneous leakage for repair.
		The builder should also receive a commissioning certificate that certifies the design, construction and performance of the air barrier system in its entirety, including materials and workmanship, were tested and found to perform within the envelope performance limits prescribed by the owner's project brief.
