Abstract	A computer system has been developed to build a knowledge base for automatic diagnosis of building faults. This knowledge-acquisition assistant writes rules for diagnosing problems and verifies the logical consistency of the knowledge base as it grows. The system comprises an inductive rule generation module and a rule verification module tied to a rule editor. These three components are used to formulate the rules in the knowledge base. To perform a diagnosis, the accepted rules are used to help diagnose the next case (or expert system shell). Each subsequent diagnostic case is used to add rules and subsequently the rule base is checked for consistency. This type of approach constrains the form of reporting building faults but allows many authors to co-operate in the building of a rule base. The result is a consistent syntax for diagnosis and an expanding rule base for a self-automating building diagnostic system.
