- Abstract
- The report documents the origins and conduct of the General Services Administration/Public Buildings Service (GSA/PBS) Building Systems Program (BSP) undertaken during the 1970s and recommends a research plan for assessing the effectiveness of the BSP. The report proposes specific methods for assessing two outcomes of the BSP: the delivery of specified levels of performance for four attributes in the six buildings completed under the BSP and the wider effects of the BSP on the building community.
