- Abstract
- The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS) is engaged in the development of a new design approach for Federal Buildings referred to as "high technology" (high-tech). The approach emphasizes the consideration of new, emerging and innovative uses of existing technology applications in building system design, construction and operation. In order to develop design programs for high-tech building projects, there is a need for PBS to identify programing issues that address new, emerging and innovative uses of existing technologyies, and there is a need for PBS to develop a plan of research in support of its high-tech design approach. Under a memorandum of understadning with GSA, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), Center for Building Technology (CBT) assisted PBS by providing technical support through the development of programming issues and research needs for high-tech office buildings. The programming issues and research needs developed by NBS to be considered byGSA during its programming and research planning activities.
