- Abstract
- Performance criteria for innovative construction are presented in this resource report in order to assist in the broad technical acceptance of new building products and materials. The levels of performance stated are intended to be equivalent to the Minimum Property Standards (MPS) which reflects acceptable performance of conventional building materials and designs for programs sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The report is structured so that new performance criteria can be added in the future as additional technical data and evaluation methods become available.
