- Abstract
- The objectives of this project are to adapt or develop test methods and techniques for the measurement of the performance characteristics of exterior walls, and to provide values obtained by such tests when applied to representative walls. This project was designed to bring under consideration all the characteristics of exterior walls and to determine which are of importance. For the latter, means of measurement are sought and values obtained. These are expected to form the basis for decisions as to the levels of performance against which to judge walls of various types.
