- Abstract
- As the title of this talk indicates, I will be discussing the full-scale performance testing of the Neal Mitchell Housing System mentioned in the previous talk. However, rather than interpreting my remarks in terms of this particular system I would prefer that you view them in terms of the general problem of the performance evaluation of innovative building systems. It is easier to speak in terms of a specific example to demonstrate what we mean by performance evaluation.
