- Abstract
- This report presents an overview of the National Bureau of Standards Center for Building Technology's research, its accomplishments, and ongoing projects. The mission of the Center for Building Technology is threefold: (1) to advance building technology by providing technical and scientific bases for criteria and standards that improve the usefulness, safety, and economy of buildings; (2) to provide technical assistance to all sectors of the buildings community; and (3) to develop improved techniques by which the end-users in buildings, communities and industrial processes can conserve energy.
