- Abstract
- This report assesses the General Services Administration/Public Buildings Service's (GSA/PBS) Building Systems Program (BSP) and recommends methods for furthering the program's objectives. Lighting, air movement and temperature, acoustics, and the flexibility of interior space division in the six buildings completed under the BSP are evaluated by comparing field measurements made in February-April 1982 with the performance specifications for those four attributes at the time of procurement. The wider effects of the BSP innovations on the building community are qualitatively evaluated.
