Excerpt from Building Technology Project Summaries, 1986The 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 PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
