- Abstract
- This report presents the international research activities of the Center for Building Technology during the transition quarter and Fiscal Year 1977. In general, the objectives of this work were to spread the results of building research worldwide in hopes of creating a better built environment. Last year CBT continued working closely with less-developed countries to improve their building practices. The Center also continued cooperative research efforts with a number of countries that have acknowledged expertise in particular areas of building research, such as England, Israel, and France, to name but a few. On such projects, the Center pursued common research goals alongside the building researchers from other nations on studies of critical importance to all nations, such as energy and natural resources conservation.
