Excerpt from Building Technology Project Summaries, 1990 Cbt provides a quality assurance program for over 1000 public and private construction materials testing laboratories nationwide that is relied upon by owners, designers, builders, and state and local governments responsible for buildings and transportation facilities. Cbt works closely with its international peer organizations to assure cognizance of foreign research developments, that research efforts are complementary, and that u.s. Interests are represented in preparation of recommendations for inter national standards and practices. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Building Technology Project Summaries, 1986 The Center for Building Technology (cbt) of the National Bureau of Standards (nbs) is the national building reesarch laboratory. It works cooperatively with other organizations, private and public, to improve building practices. It conducts laboratory, field, and analytical research. It develops technologies to predict, measure, and test the performance of building materials, components, systems, and practices. This knowledge is required for responsible and cost-effective decisions in the building process and cannot be obtained through proprietary research and development. Cbt provides technologies needed by the building community to achieve the benefits of advanced computation and automation. Cbt does not promulgate building standards or regulations, but its technologies are widely used in the building industry and adopted by governmental and private organizations that have standards and codes responsibilities. This report summarizes the projects underway in the Center during 1986. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Building Technology Project Summaries, 1980-1981 The summaries are arranged according to the research areas that comprise the scope of work at cet, which is shown on page xi. The report has a Building Community Index (p. Which keys cet research to individual segments of the industry. 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.

Excerpt from Building Technology Project Summaries 1977-1978 Individual projects at the Center may emphasize one or more of the Center's research activities in providing improved knowledge, in usable form, to the building community. Typical activities include: problem analysis to define and characterize needs for improved building practices; research to obtain vital new knowledge; technical problem solving to develop improved practices from the best available knowledge; dissemination of results to users in the building community; and impact analysis to show how well the Center's work has met the building community's needs and whether elements of the original problem remain unresolved or new problems exist. In all these activities, we work closely with other organizations in the building community that aid in the Center work or use its results.
