The reader is encouraged to review two companion documents: nbs Special Publication 439-1 The Center for Building Technology: A Perspective which presents the Center's approach to building research and its facilities; and nbs Special Publication 457, Building Technology Publications, and its supplements. As they are produced, reports detailing results of these projects will be listed in future issues of Building Technology Publications. The mission of the Center for Building Technology (cet) is to increase the usefulness, safety, and economy of buildings through the advancement of building technology and its application to the improvement of building practice. Cbt's research activities support the building technology programs of Federal, State, and local governments; assist the design professions, building officials, and the research community by developing improved design criteria; and assist manufacturers of building products by developing methods for evaluating innovative materials, components, and systems. Cet does not promulgate building codes or standards. Cet provides an objective source of technical informa tion for national consensus standards and model code organizations. Close Cooperation with these groups leads to standard practices that meet the needs of the regulatory authorities of State and local governments. Research providing the knowledge for these standard practices is conducted in cooperation with Government, university, and industry laboratories.
