- Abstract
- The Center for Building Technology provides the technical and scientific bases for criteria and standards that improve the usefulness, safety, and economy of buildings while conserving building materials and energy. The Center's activities support building technology programs of the Federal, State and local governments; assists design professions, building officials and the research community by developing design criteria that improve buildings; and assists manufacturers of building products by developing criteria for evaluating innovative building materials. This report summarizes the Center's projects for calendar years 1978-79. It enables individuals to get a clear impression of CBT research activities.
