- Abstract
- The Center for Building Technology (CBT) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the national building research laboratory. CBT works cooperatively with other organizations, private and public, to improve building practices. It conducts laboratory, field, and analytical research to predict, measure, and test the performance of building materials, components, systems, and practices. CBT's technologies are widely used in the building industry and adopted by governmental and private organizations that have standards and codes responsibilities. The report summarizes the research underway in the Center during 1989.
