Building Science Series reports disseminate technical infor- mation developed at the Center on building materials, components, systems, and whole structures. The series presents

research results, test methods, and performance criteria related

to the structural and environmental functions and the durability

and safety characteristics of building elements and systems.

BSS7S. Building research at the National Bureau of Standards

1968-1974, N. Gallagher, Ed., Nal. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Bldg.

Sci. Ser. 75, 126 pages (Mar. 1979) SN003-003-02029-0.

Key words: building technology; Center for Building

Technology; history of building research.

This report details the progress of building research at the Center for Building Technology from the year 1968 to 1974.

Starting with the backlog of needed research in building

techniques, components, and materials that faced researchers in the 60's, this history covers the evolution of the performance

concept for building specifications, cooperation with states and

codes-generating organizations, and specific technical accomplishments. The report continues with discussions of programs

involving the building community, research on the needs of the

building users, and technology transfer. A special chapter is devoted to energy conservation in buildings and how CBT's test methods and other programs—including solar—were pressed

into this vital national struggle.

BSS9S. The development of an improved compression test method for wall panels, C. W. C. Yancey and L. E. Cattaneo,

Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Bldg. Sci. Ser. 95, 108 pages (Feb.

1979) SN003-003-01697-7,

Key words: compression; eccentric loading; flat-end; kern; loading rate; pin-end; test method; wall panels; walls. An experimental and analytical investigation of the primary

factors involved in the testing of prototype wall panels under

axial compression loading is reported. The objective of the in- vestigation was to develop a method of testing wall specimens

that incorporates the best features of ASTM Standard Method

E 72 while at the same time incorporating improvements in the areas of deficiency in the Standard. Twenty-five laboratory tests were conducted on samples composed of five types of wall panel construction. The panels were tested to failure under

either of two different eccentricities of load, while being sup- ported with one of two types of idealized end conditions.

Selected test results and detailed descriptions of the laboratory

procedures used are presented. A computer-aided analytical

study of the variables affecting the degree of uniformity of

loading was conducted. Equations based on the analogy of

beams supported on elastic foundations were used in the analysis. A study of the statistical parameters commonly used to in- terpret test results was conducted to establish useful guidelines

for predicting structural performance on the basis of small sample test results. A compression test method applicable to tradi- tional and innovative wall constructions is presented. The principal additions in the revised test method are as follows: (a) a provision for variable eccentricity, (b) a procedure for selecting

a load distribution assembly which will be compatible with the

test-panel.

BSSI07. Soil and rock anchors for mobile homes—A state-of- the-art report, W. D. Kovacs and F. Y. Yokel, Nai. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Bldg. Sci. Ser. 107, 164 pages (Oct. 1979)

SN003-003-02121-1.

Key words: anchors; mobile home foundations; soil anchors; soil mechanics; wind upset.

Available anchor hardware is surveyed and evaluated and

pull-out capacity data are compared with hypotheses for pre- dicting anchor pull-out capacity based on soil mechanics principles. The evidence suggests that our ability to predict anchor

pull-out capacity by soil mechanics principles is inadequate,

and that there is a need for the standardization of test procedures and soil classification and for further test data. Suggestions for future research are presented.

BSSl IS. Fire safety for high-rise buildings: The role of communications, R. A. Glass and A. I. Rubin, Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Bldg. Sci. Ser. 115, 47 pages (Apr. 1979) SN003-003-

02016-8.

Key words: buildings; communications systems; fire safety;

high-rise; model codes; people movement; systems design.

This literature survey reviews the communications requirements for fire safety in buildings from the standpoint of the building occupant and the control operator. It traces the development of the problem of communications in buildings

and the specialized needs that exist today.

An examination is made of the purposes of a communications system in buildings as well as some of the psychological

design requirements necessary for such a system.

The communications requirements of the building occupants

are also covered, with emphasis on the types of information

communicated by signals and the integration of those signals into an overall system design.

Personnel requirements for staffing a control center are also discussed, along with common problems in several operational

communications systems.

Detailed examples of communications systems are provided.

Portions of several model codes which cover communications

systems are presented. Suggested areas for future research on

fire safety in buildings are identified.

BSSl 17. Experimental verification of a standard test procedure

for solar collectors, J. E. Hill, J. P. Jenkins, and D. E. Jones, Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Bldg. Sci. Ser. 117, 126 pages (Jan. 1979) SN003-003-02008-7.

Key words: measurement; solar collector; solar energy;

solar radiation; standards; standard test; testing.

A proposed procedure for testing and rating solar collectors based on thermal performance was published by the National

Bureau of Standards (NBS) in 1974. Subsequently, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning

2
(ASHRAE) developed a modified version of the NBS

procedure which was adopted in early 1977 as ASHRAE Stan- dard 93-77. A test facility for water-heating and air-heating col- lectors has been built at NBS and was used to support the development of Standard 93-77. The purpose of this report is

to describe the recently adopted test procedure, the NBS test

facility, and the tests that were conducted to support the development of the procedure.

ESS 1 18. Extreme wind speeds at 129 stations in tlie contiguous

United States, E. Simiu, M. J. Changery, and J. J. Filliben, Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), BIdg. Sci. Ser. 118, 318 pages (Mar.

1979) SN003-003-02041-9.

Key words: building (codes); probability distribution functions; statistical analysis; storms; structural engineering;

wind pressure; wind speeds.

The purpose of this report is to present information on

recorded and predicted wind speeds at 129 airport stations in the contiguous United States at which reliable records are

available over a number of consecutive years. This information

is provided to serve as basic documentation from which appropriate decisions can be made on values of design wind

speeds to be specified in building codes and standards or on

specific projects. Included in the report are; recorded wind

speeds and anemometer elevations, predicted wind speeds

based on probability distributions of the largest values, esti- mates of the sampling errors inherent in the predicted wind

speeds, a description of the statistical procedure used in the

analysis of the data, and a discussion of the results of the analysis.

ESS 11 9. Economic evaluation of windows in buildings:

Methodology, R. T. Ruegg and R. E. Chapman, Nat. Bur.

Stand. (t/.S.), BIdg. Sci. Ser. 119, 118 pages (Apr. 1979)

SN003-003-02042-7.

Key words: building economics; daylighting; economic

analysis; energy conservation; engineering economics; life- cycle costs; solar heat gain; thermal efficiency; window;

window management.

This study, which is one part of a National Bureau of Stan- dards interdisciplinary project on windows, is aimed at improving the cost-effectiveness of window selection and use in buildings. It develops and illustrates a life-cycle costing evaluation model and computer program for assessing for alternative

window systems the net dollar impact of acquisition, maintenance and repair, heating and cooling energy gains and

losses, and artificial lighting and daylighting tradeoffs. The

method is applicable to the evaluation of many different window sizes, designs, accessories, and uses, both for new and existing residential and commercial buildings. Two step-by-step

examples of evaluating selected window alternatives in a re- sidence and in an office building in Washington, D.C., serve to

illustrate the application of the method.

A companion report, A Regional Economic Assessment of

Selected Window Systems, presents the results of eight additional residential case studies and eight additional commercial

case studies. While the emphasis of this report is on the method

of evaluation, the companion report focuses on summarizing

the results of a regional analysis in a form that will be convenient for use by building owners, operators, designers, financiers, and builders—those whose interest centers on the actual implementation of research results.

BSSI20. Guidelines for stair safety, J. Archea, B. L. Collins,

and F. I. Stahl, Nal. Bur. Stand. {U.S.), BIdg. Sci. Ser. 120,

129 pages (May 1979) SN003-003-02063-0.

Key words: accidents; architectural design; architectural psychology; architectural research; building codes; building

design; building regulatory standards; floor coverings;

home safety; safety standards; stair safety; stairway design.

This report summarizes information and research in the area

of stair use and provides design guidelines for improving stair safety. These guidelines are directed toward seven major

categories of stairway design and construction: (1) structural

integrity and quality of stairs, (2) physical attributes of stair surfaces, (3) appearance of stair surfaces, (4) handrails, (S)

physical attributes of the surrounding stairway environment, (6)

appearance of the surrounding stairway environment, and (7)

signs and symbols.

In general, the recommendations offered in this report derive

from the premise that stairway accidents are caused by human

perceptual errors, which are frequently triggered by some flaw

in the design or construction of stairways themselves. Evidence

describing the severity and frequency of residential stairway

hazards, and supporting premises underlying design guidelines were obtained from epidemiological, experimental, exploratory,

and survey research sources. General directions for future in- vestigation are suggested.

Technical Notes present data which are complete in themselves but are not as comprehensive in scope or as definitive

in treatment of the subjects as reported in Building Science Series.

TN971. Guidelines for cost-effective lead paint abatement, R. E. Chapman and J. G. Kowalski, Nal. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Tech. Note 971, 88 pages (Jan. 1979) SN003-003-020 1 4- 1

.

Key words: abatement; building economics; building

materials; economic analysis; housing; lead-based paint; lead poisoning.

Public and private concern about the potential for lead poisoning in children due to the ingestion of lead-based paint

chips has resulted in a Federally sponsored program to develop

technologies by which the lead-based paint hazard may be

eliminated from the nation's housing. Through this program

lead-based paint abatement techniques were tested in field deleading operations conducted in Boston, Massachusetts. The

major focus of the program was on the collection of data on

the direct costs of labor, materials and special equipment as- sociated with these abatement techniques. Data were also col- lected on contractors' bids so that markup ratios could be cal- culated. This report provides an overview of the statistical analysis of

these direct cost data by abatement technique and building

component (i.e, walls, doors and frames, windows and frames,

and miscellaneous trim). An overview of the statistical analysis

of the markup ratio is also included. Cost models are developed

for each abatement technique which identify the key factors which affect direct cost and markup. Guidelines are given so

that these models can be used by municipal officials and building owners to estimate deleading costs as well as provide input

to policy evaluation and formulation.

TN979. Lead paint abatement costs: Some technical and

theoretical considerations, R. E. Chapman and J. G. Kowalski,

Nal. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Tech. Note 979. 153 pages (Feb.

1979) SN003-003-02022-2.

Key words; abatement; building economics; building

materials; cost estimation; econometric models; economic

analysis; housing; lead-based paint; lead poisoning.

Public and private concern about the potential for lead poisoning in children due to the ingestion of lead-based paint

chips has resulted in a Federally sponsored program to develop

technologies by which the lead-based paint hazard may be

eliminated from the nation's housing. The nature and design of

the Experimental Hazard Elimination Program (EHEP) is thought to be unique in that it permitted the costs of the alter- native lead paint abatement techniques to be rigorously

analyzed.

The focus of this report is on the design, implementation and

analysis of EHEP and the cost information it produced. Statistical analyses which permitted the development of econometric

models capable of estimating abatement technique costs and

expected contractor markup are described. Structural equations

relating changes in the values of certain key factors to variations in direct cost and contractor markup are also presented.

Guidelines, including a national deleading cost estimate, are given so that these econometric models can be used by municipal officials and building owners to estimate deleading costs

as well as provide input to policy evaluation and formulation.

TN980. Historic preservation incentives of the 1976 Tax Reform

Act: An economic analysis, S. F. Weber, Nat. Bur. Stand.

(U.S.), Tech. Note 980, 32 pages (Feb. 1979) SN003-003-

02015-0.

Key words: adaptive reuse; buildings; demolition;

economics; historic preservation; life-cycle costing;

redevelopment; rehabilitation; tax incentives.

The Tax Reform Act (TRA) of 1976 includes several provisions which affect the financial position of owners of incomeproducing historic buildings. This report analyzes the effect of

the TRA on the after-tax cost of two basic alternatives facing

the owner; ( 1 ) rehabilitate the structure, or (2) demolish it and

redevelop the site. A life-cycle minimization model was

developed, programmed in BASIC language, and applied in an

after-tax comparison of six alternative situations representing

rehabilitation and redevelopment both before and after the TRA. Under the assumptions of the model used in this analysis, the TRA has made the rehabilitation option significantly more

attractive than previously. The former tax bias in favor of

demolition and redevelopment has been reversed. Until now,

this information on the life-cycle tax advantages of rehabilitat- ing historic buildings has been unavailable. This report will help

corporate investors make cost-effective decisions regarding

historic preservation of nonresidential buildings and provide

policy makers with information on the effectiveness of these tax incentives. The approach utilized could be adapted to analyze

incentives for other types of building rehabilitation.

TN985. Fire effects on reinforced concrete members, B. Ellingwood and J. Shaver, Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Tech. Note 985,

42 pages (Aug. 1979) SN003-003-02 104- 1

.

Key words: concrete (reinforced); fire load; fire resistance;

fire tests structural engineering; temperature; thermal analysis.

Fire ratings for structural assemblies in the U.S. are currently

measured by endurance of or temperature rise in components

subjected to a standard test. Analytical procedures show considerable promise for alleviating the extensive testing required,

and for placing fire resistant structural design on a limit states

basis. In this study, thermal and structural analyses for rein- forced concrete members are validated using experimental

data. Temperature distributions computed in reinforced concrete members for several realistic fire exposures are ex- amined and compared to the distributions measured in a stan- dard test. Parameter studies show the effect of typical variations in thermal diffusivity, emissivity and conductivity. Structural responses for the different fire exposures are also briefly

compared.

TN992. An investigation of air-infiltration characteristics and

mechanisms for a townhouse, S. J. Treado, D. M. Burch, and

C. M. Hunt, Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Tech. Note 992, 36

pages (Aug. 1 979 ) SN003-003-02090-7

.

Key words; air infiltration; residential; air permeability of

houses; energy conservation; pressurization technique;

tracer-gas technique.

Air infiltration measurements using a tracer-gas technique

and the pressurization technique were performed on a three- bedroom townhouse having a gas-fired, forced-air furnace

system, in order to quantify the amount of air infiltration due

to various mechanisms. These mechanisms include combustion

and draft-diverter air requirements, air leakage from supply-air

ducts, and air leakage through the solid parts of the building

envelope as well as air leakage through cracks around windows

and doors. A thermographic survey was also performed in conjunction with pressurization of the structure, in an attempt to

identify specific leaks. An apparatus for measuring the air permeability of building materials was used to analyze the sig- nificance of air permeation through solid building elements.

Based on the findings of the study, general guidelines are presented for reducing air infiltration in residences.

TN996. Mechanical properties of adobe, J. R. Clifton and F. L. Davis, Nat. Bur. Stand. {U.S.), Tech. Note 996, 45 pages (May 1979) SN003-003-02066-4.

Key words: adobe; adobe soil; compressive strength; creep;

flexural strength; mechanical properties; moisture; nondestructive testing; preservation.

Relationships between the compressive strength and creep, and the moisture contents of adobe were investigated. Moisture was found to have a deleterious effect on these mechanical properties of adobe, its severity increasing with increasingly higher

relative humidities and higher moisture contents. It was concluded that rain and ground water would have a greater

deleterious effect on the mechanical properties of adobe than

high relative humidities. The physicochemical properties of adobe, mix proportions,

drying conditions, and shrinkage of specimens were also found

to influence the compressive strength of adobe. Procedures for preparing, curing and testing of adobe specimens are given.

A nondestructive test method, based on measuring the penetration resistance of adobe, was found to give reliable predictions of the compressive strength and moisture content of

adobe specimens.

TN998. Impact of building regulations on rehabilitation —Status and technical needs, J. G. Gross, J. H. Pielert, and P. W.

Cooke, Nat. Bur. Stand. {U.S.), Tech. Note 998, 50 pages

(May 1979) SN003-003-02062- 1

.

Key words; building code; building research; code administration; existing buildings; model codes; preservation; regulation; rehabilitation; renovation.

This report presents the results of a study of the impact of

regulations on building rehabilitation and includes a discussion

of the activities of the Building Rehabilitation Technology Pro- gram of the Center for Building Technology. Particular activities discussed relative to existing buildings include; (a) development of the technical bases for regulations and an improved

regulatory process, (b) development of new technology and

evaluation tools, and (c) development of responsive and costeffective decision tools. A new code concept is outlined which

could be a replacement for the "25-50 percent" rule presently

in codes for new construction. This rule often controls the amount of work that may be required in the rehabilitation of

existing buildings. The status of existing code documents for huildingrehabilitation is provided along with an overview of

other publications which discuss the impact of building regulations on rehabilitation.

TN999. A study of the dynamic flue-gas temperature and off- period mass flow rate of a residential gas-fired furnace, C.

Park, W. J. Mulroy, and G. E. Kelly, Nat. Bur. Stand. {U.S.), Tech. Note 999, 41 pages (July 1979) SN003-003-02092-3.

Key words: automatic stack damper; flue-gas temperature

profile; gas-fired furnace; off-period mass flow rate; part- load performance, seasonal efficiency.

The flue-gas temperature and mass flow rate through a gasfired furnace were studied In the laboratory. Temperature

profiles were measured under cycling conditions and compared

with profiles predicted mathematically using data obtained

while the furnace was cooling down from steady-state operation

and warming up from equilibrium. The mass flow rates at vari- ous flue-gas temperatures were measured using both a vane anemometer and a tracer-gas technique, and these results are compared with the mass flow rate predicted by the theoretical equations. The effect on the off-period flow rate of automatic

stack dampers having different sized damper openings was ex- perimentally determined. Theoretical equations are presented

for predicting the effectiveness of a stack damper as a function

of the ratio of the area of the damper to the area of the stack and a system friction factor.

TNI 100. Analysis of tentative seismic design provisions for buildings, J. R. Harris, S. J. Fenves, and R. N. Wright, Nat. Bur. Stand. {U.S.), Tech. Note 1 100, 599 pages (July 1979)

SN003-003-02084-2.

Key words; building codes; buildings; building standards;

classification; decision tables; earthquake-resistant design;

information networks; network; seismic design; systems

analysis.

This report presents the results of a thorough study of the in- ternal logic of the Tentative Provisions for the Development of

Seismic Regulations for Buildings developed by the Applied

Technology Council. The methods of analysis employed in the study provide objective measures of clarity, completeness, and

consistency and an alternative form in which to examine the technical validity of the provisions. These methods include

decision logic tables for examining individual provisions, infor- mation networks for representing the precedence among provisions, and classification of the provisions to study their scope and arrangement. A formal representation of the provisions is presented by the data items, decision tables, networks, and

classification systems developed in the study. An index and

several alternate arrangements of the provisions are also in- cluded. Opportunities for improvement of the tentative provi- sions are identified and discussed, and considerations for their future development and implementation within various national

standards are highlighted.

TNI 107. The use of aerial infrared thermography to compare

the thermal resistances of roofs, D. M. Burch, Nat. Bur. Stand. {U.S.), Tech. Note 1107, 38 pages (Aug. 1979)

SN003-003-02102-4.

Key words: aerial flyovers; aerial infrared thermography;

energy conservation; roof heat-loss survey.

The paper investigates whether a comparative roof survey

using aerial infrared thermography can be used to rank the roofs of residential and commercial buildings according to their thermal resistance. Mathematical models are presented for pre- dicting the apparent radiance temperatures of these roof

systems. These models are used to investigate the differences

in apparent radiance temperature between roofs having various

thermal resistances. These predicted differences are then compared with predicted differences in apparent radiance temperature caused by typical variations in roof emittance, local out- door temperature, and local wind speed throughout the macroclimate. The transmission characteristics of the at- mosphere are reviewed, and the required dew-point spread for preventing dew or frost formation on a roof is examined.

This publication consists of a collection of six papers com- mon to the subject of rehabilitation and preservation of existing

buildings and how our present system of regulating construction

for the public benefit presents various barriers that must be more fully understood in order that rational solutions can be developed and implemented. The papers have been reprinted

from the Proceedings of previous national conferences dealing

with building regulatory research held under the joint sponsorship of NBS and the National Conference of States on Building

Codes and Standards. This publication includes the following papers (indented):

Building codes: Preservation and rehabilitation,

Kapsch, SP536, pp. 1-16 (Feb. 1979).

R J.

Key words: adaptive reuse; architecture; building codes; building regulations; building safety; construction; per- formance; preservation; rehabilitation; renovation.

There has been a large rise in interest in the last ten years in building reuse, rehabilitation and preservation projects. This trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable

future. Such projects pose difficulties for the building regu- latory system since many of these buildings were originally

constructed prior to the existence of building codes. Most

of these buildings do not meet modern levels of building

regulation and application of building regulations to them

poses difficulties as these regulations are essentially

designed for new construction. The potential impact of these regulations includes the increase of project costs and

damage to the fabric of the building intended to be preserved. Yet safety and health must be achieved in exist- ing buildings as well as new. This paper summarizes studies and other activities that are presently being conducted by

a number of organizations on this subject. One such study

conducted by NBS has indicated that numerous State and

local jurisdictions and model code organizations are adopt6

i
ing historic building waiver clauses and similar regulations

as a partial answer to this problem. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sponsored the first national conference, in 1974, on this question and is currently

cooperating with NBS in a study of the effectiveness of

selected historic building waiver clauses. The National En- dowment for the Arts has sponsored a grant that would

identify tradeoffs that could be used in building regulations. NBS has also sponsored a study, reported in a separate paper in these Proceedings, on how a standard

designed for existing buildings might be structured and for- matted. NBS is also studying, for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, technological aspects of neighborhood conservation, including the role of building

regulations. As of this writing, no final or definitive answer

has been developed for the problem of achieving contemporary levels of safety and health in existing buildings.

Information structure of building codes and standards for the needs of existing buildings, B. Smith, SP536, pp. 17-53

(Feb. 1979).

Key words: building codes and standards; building code

structure; existing buildings; historic preservation; per- formance attributes; performance evaluation.

With the increased occurrence of rehabilitation and

preservation projects, the problem of code compliance for these buildings is growing in magnitude. We are no longer

dealing with isolated historic buildings, but with both entire

historic districts and an ever increasing number of recycled, adaptively used buildings. The problem of code compliance for these projects frequently causes the destruction

of the historic integrity of the building, the replacement of

serviceable materials and, at the same time, increases project costs. The compliance problems may stem from the organization and format of the model codes which are based on new construction materials and techniques. This

study examines the present organization and format of the

three model codes and develops a decision flow chart

which analyzes how these model codes are used. The regulatory problems facing rehabilitation and preservation projects are then reviewed. From this investigation, a proposed decision process, based on the needs of rehabilitation and preservation projects is developed. Such a decision process could be used if and when building regulations are developed for the unique needs of these type

projects.

Contractor understanding relative to rehab costs, R. S. Harrington, SP536, pp. 55-61 (Feb. 1979).

Key words: building codes; community development; construction costs; contractors; housing; rehabilitation; stan- dards.

The nature of rehabilitation, with its nonvisible elements

and its potential for self-help, makes it extremely difficult to accurately estimate the costs involved. The uncertainty

is passed on by the Contractor in the fees he charges. Uncertainty exists, as well, in the standards for accomplishing

the work at hand. Specifications are normally cumbersome.

Work Write-Ups lacking in detail. Therefore understanding

is diminished and costs rise, while quality falls below stan- dards. With the pending increase in neighborhood code rehabilitation projects, there is the need to increase the supply

of competent contractors interested and experienced in rehab. This requires both a method for offering stan- dardization of specifications and work write-ups with more

detail, and the ability to assure a steady flow of work into bidding channels.

The role of fire prevention and control in building construction and regulations, W. H. McLain, SP536, pp. 63-74

(Feb. 1979).

Key words: building codes; control measures; fire codes;

fire safety; governmental actions; life safety; regulation;

risk assessment; societal goals.

Fire prevention and control is an important feature of

the modern building codes. Building set-back limits, structural design, and limitations on interior finish materials are among the building design parameters that reflect the

public need for fire safety. Historically, codes have been

developed to reduce mass urban fires and to limit property

damage from the structural collapse of single building

units. For example, a standard time-temperature curve has

been developed and widely used (ASTM El 19) for classifi- cation of building structural components in terms of a fire- time rating. More recently, there has developed an in- creased concern about life safety. Smoke and toxic gas produced by materials subjected to fire exposures are being evaluated and in some cases form part of a developing set of new regulations. The implementation of these new regulations poses a number of difficult problems to the local code regulatory and enforcement officials. An

analysis is made of some of the alternative approaches

which may be considered to aid the local building official

in this important area of control.

Rehabilitation as an instrument in meeting housing need: Can it really work?, J. Heron, SP536, pp. 75-81 (Feb. 1979).

Key words: decision criteria; demolition; housing needs;

physical condition rehablitation.

There is an increasing trend in city planning toward

rehabilitating older buildings and conserving neighborhoods that might have become slums, but the rehabilitation process is slow and unreliable. Few builders are interested

in rehabilitation, most preferring new construction in the suburbs. A major question is: can the rehabilitation process be changed to attract more builders and become a highvolume business?

The suggested answer is that criteria to identify buildings

needing rehabilitation and to specify what repairs need to be made must be developed, using the cumulative

knowledge of builders who have done such work and the

insight of people involved in building regulation. These

criteria should deal with the fundamental structural and

safety characteristics of buildings, to provide a yardstick

for selecting the right buildings and deciding how much

work is required.

Building codes and historic preservation in Savannah Georgia, M. Rosenthal, SP536, pp. 83-93 (Feb. 1979).

Key words: barriers; building codes; code enforcement;

historic district; historic preservation; regulations; rehabilitation; safety.

The City of Savannah has the largest registered urban

historical district in the United States. Over 900 structures have been restored or are awaiting restoration. Building

code barriers that once existed were overcome through

cooperation and communications with results that satisfy the intent of code criteria while also maintaining the in- tegrity of historic preservation. The experience gained in Savannah suggests that code compliance responsibilities in historic preservation projects rest jointly with designers,

preservationists, owners and builders as well as code en7
forcement personnel. Recommendations include the need

for guidelines in the use of codes for dealing realistically

with building rehabilitation projects.

SPS42. Possible contributions of cement and concrete technology

to energy conservation, G. Frohnsdorff, P. W. Brown, and J. R. Clifton, Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Spec. Publ. 542, 76 pages (May 1979) SN003-003-02059-1

.

Key words; cement; concrete; energy-saving opportunities;

research needs. A workshop on Possible Contributions of Cement and

Concrete Technology to Energy Conservation by the Year

2000 was held at the National Bureau of Standards on October

3 and 4, 1977. The purpose of the workshop was to identify

and record ideas on possible contributions of cement and

concrete technology to energy conservation in the near term and by the Year 2000. This included consideration of current technology as well as areas in which technological advances

might be realized. The workshop was divided into working groups on cement

composition, cement production, blending materials, concrete

production, efficient use of concrete, and institutional factors. The essential results from the six working groups were state- ments of Energy-Saving Opportunities, Research Needs, and

Unresolved Issues. The statements, which are the major part of

this report, are presented without critical analysis. They suggest, however, that there are a large number of possible opportunities which should be evaluated for their ability to contribute

to energy conservation in the cement and concrete industries.

SPS48. Summer attic and whole-house ventilation. Proceedings

of a Workshop held at the National Bureau of Standards,

Gaithersburg, MD, July 13, 1978, M. H. Reppert, Ed., Nat.

Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Spec. Publ. 548, 153 pages (July 1979)

SN003-003-02089-3.

Key words; attic ventilation; energy conservation; solar ab- sorptance of roofing materials; whole-house ventilation.

These are the proceedings of the Summer Attic and WholeHouse Ventilation Workshop sponsored by the National Bureau

of Standards in collaboration with the Department of Energy

and the attic ventilation industry. The purpose of the Workshop

was to provide a forum for technical discussion to assess summer energy savings that might be achieved from the use of

static and powered attic ventilation and wholehouse ventilation equipment. Papers on experimental and mathematical model

studies relating to attic and whole-house ventilation were

presented. In addition, a paper on roof solar absorptance and

its effect on the cooling requirement of a residence was

presented. After each paper was presented, participants of the Workshop were given an opportunity to question the speaker

concerning his paper. The resulting questions and responses are included at the end of each of the papers. These proceedings in- clude the following papers (indented):

The third NBS/NCSBCS Joint Conference on Research and

Innovation in the Building Regulatory Process was held in Annapolis, MD, on September 12, 1978. The proceedings of the

Joint Conference include the opening remarks, the Keynote

Address and the 24 papers presented at the technical sessions dealing with various aspects of building regulatory research and

innovative administrative application of building codes and

standards. The eight technical sessions were organized around

the following themes: Regulatory Aspects of Fire Safety; Stan- dards Development Activities and the Building Regulatory

Process; Accommodating Provisions for the Elderly and Handicapped in Building Regulations; Implementation of Energy

Conservation Building Regulations at the State Level; Application of Computers and Information Systems for Building Regulation and Construction; Energy Conservation, Solar Energy

and the Built Environment; Issues Concerning the Intent, For- mulation and Economic Impact of Regulations; Metrication, In- dustrialized Buildings and Complex Structures.

In addition, three other research papers covering Lighting,

Tax Shelters, Resource Zoning, and Land Use Planning are also included. These proceedings include the following papers

{indented):

A defensible technique for determining code equivalency in buildings, G. N. Berlin, SP552, pp. 13-27 (July 1979).

Key words; building fires; equivalency; evaluation; fire safety; models; research; standards; systematic procedure.

New materials, construction methods, and contents are

rapidly changing the nature and magnitude of the fire problem in the United States. These changes often provide

a situation that is not covered explicitly in existing codes

or that requires amendments to allow their installation. In some cases, these changes in construction or materials provide a safer environment. It is desirable to take advantage

of these changes and to encourage similar advances within

the framework of the codes. An important step in that direction is the development of rigorous procedures for objectively evaluating the equivalency of such changes to the accepted standards. A systematic procedure for measuring the hazards of

building fires has been developed as part of a project

funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This procedure, called the "Building Firesafety

Model" incorporates data derived from actual fire tests to describe the rate of fire growth, the likelihood of entrapment, and estimates of structural damage.

It is expected that this tool will assist government offi- cials, architects and engineers in evaluating the design (or

rehabilitation) of buildings with regard to the level of fire safety. Such a tool could potentially be used to evaluate

the comparative levels of fire safety implied by compliance

with codes and to identify voids in fire test data. In addition, the model can be used for evaluating the allocation of fire service resources and pre-fire tactical planning.

The liability of municipalities and municipal officials for negligence in the regulation of buildings, V. Brannigan,

SP552, pp. 29-37 (July 1979).

Key words; duty; liability; municipal corporations;

negligence; sovereign immunity; tort.

Building and fire codes and inspections have spawned

lawsuits charging both cities and individuals with

negligence. This paper explores the development of municipal liability, the elements of a negligence action, and

specific defenses and immunities which are available to a

city and individual. Special attention will be given to high

risk activities of municipalities.

Buildings engineer emergency response team, S. S. Koren. SP552, pp. 39-44 (July 1979).

Key words; crisis; fiood recovery effort, missing link; rebuilding.

Code enforcement embraces the cycle of ConstructionCrisis-Reconstruction.

Baltimore County has added a code enforcement team

to its emergency forces. This allows both staff assistance to other county emergency forces as well as immediate participation in the reconstruction phase.

The development and implementation of building standards

in France, I. Martinez, SP552, pp. 45-56 (July 1979).

Key words; building standards; foreign building standards; French building standards; French standards system; marking and certification; types of French standards.

The systems available today in the U.S. for developing

standards are being subjected to much scrutiny and criti- cism. Many of the organizations involved in the stan- dardization process are striving for better ways to produce

standards. Attempts are being made to make the process more dynamic, more representative for general interest groups and better able to handle revisions and updatings.

One way to obtain a wide perspective of the options

available is to examine standards development practices in other countries. It is difficult to find a foreign country that

has a well-developed standards promulgation system and

enough points in common with the U.S. —in the economic,

political, geographic, and technological areas— to be used

as a reference. The French standards system, discussed here, does not coincide exceptionally well with the U.S. system. However,

a study of the procedures used in France might give some

insight and suggest different ways of approaching the problem. Hopefully, elements of interest and specific relevant procedures which might be adapted to U.S. practices

will emerge.

A case history of the integrity of the National Electrical Code, D. J. MacFadyen, SP552, pp. 57-78 (July 1979).

Key words; appeals process; consensus standards; electrical distribution systems; flat conductor cable; National Electri- cal Code; technological innovation.

A new system for surface-mounted branch-circuit build- ing wiring is being commercialized that holds substantial promise for fiexibility and cost-effectiveness. This system is based on the fiat conductor cable technology developed by

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for aerospace use. NASA sponsored a project to commercialize fiat cable-based building wiring systems, which included

a NASA contractor and a consortium of twelve major

American corporations.

One of the most critical aspects of making advanced wir- ing systems available to the public is the development of code provisions to allow their use. The process of

establishing a new National Electrical Code Article 328

permitting fiat conductor cable wiring systems involved use

9
of every procedural step available in the Code-making

regulations of the National Fire Protection Association.

Unfounded technical objections and procedural irregularities on the part of opponents to the new technology necessitated the use of every protest and appeals process available under those regulations. It was only at the highest level of the Code-making organization —the NFPA Board of Directors—that the final favorable action was taken on the

basis of proper technical justification.

The adoption of Article 328 as an amendment to the 1978 National Electrical Code was a victory, not only for the public and the proponents of the Code change, but

also for the NFPA and the whole concensus approach to Code making. The checks, balances, and recourses in the system were shown to be adequate to assure that the Code

change was ultimately resolved on technical merit.

Federal Government activities relative to the development of voluntary consensus standards, D. R. Mackay, SP552, pp. 79- 93 (July 1979).

Key words: consensus standards; Federal policies; Federal

voluntary standards policy; voluntary standards; voluntary

standards system.

Federal government agencies have been involved in voluntary standards activities for many years and have

made significant contributions to the development of consensus standards covering many product areas. This in- volvement of Federal agencies has strengthened the voluntary standards system and has tended to reduce the need

for government regulations.

The policy established by one Federal regulatory agency —the Consumer Product Safety Commission—regarding

the involvement of its staff in the development of voluntary

standards is discussed in this paper along with the criteria that have been imposed on the staff in an attempt to reduce the appearance of any conflict of interest between

these activities and the agency's regulatory responsibilities.

The philosophy and requirements of the proposed circular published by the Office of Management and Budget is also described in this paper. The restrictions on Federal

agency involvement in voluntary standards activities and

the objectives of this proposed uniform Federal agency

policy are discussed.

The paper also presents a summary of the voluntary

standards activities of several Federal regulatory agencies

and compares the similarities as well as the differences of some Federal agency policies and programs.

The formulation of sensible regulations for accessible rehabilitation housing, A. E. Osterberg, SP552, pp. 95-100 (July

1979).

Key words: accessible; disabled; housing; regulations.

In order to achieve better housing alternatives for America's elderly and disabled populations, sensible regulations

covering accessibility are necessary. A more accessible

housing market could help reverse the present rise in the number of dependent care settings. The regulation of new

construction in terms of accessibility will soon be easier with the publication of the American National Standards

Institute, Inc. (ANSI) standard on accessibility for the

physically disabled. While the document is expected to be

comprehensive in terms of new construction, the same

standards may not be appropriate in regards to the adaptation of existing housing. Additional research on adaptation

is necessary in order to formulate guidelines for making existing housing units accessible for wheelchair bound in- dividuals.

The new research should include a study of a variety of

existing housing units which have been adapted and

modified by disabled users to become more accessible. Methods for programming designs of housing projects with

future adaptations in mind need to be explored. Until these new research findings become available, regulatory officials

will have little to guide them in regulating housing adaptations.

Designing for access to, movement within, and egress from

building and sites: Effective research for more reasonable

regulation, F. I. Stahl, SP552, pp. 101-113 (July 1979).

Key words: architectural barriers; building design; building

site planning; environmental psychology; evaluation; fire escape; human research; measurement; pedestrian movement; regulation; safety; standards.

This paper discusses needs for a more complete and ef- fective technical basis for design standards impacting occupants' access to, movement within, and egress from

buildings and building sites. It is suggested that a major

cause of injury and death from fire, and of inconvenience

and psychological stigmatization to physically handicapped

persons, results (even in code-complying buildings and

sites) from adherence to design regulations narrowly

founded upon physical and engineering principles alone. This paper recommends that psychological aspects of dan- gerous and stressful situations guide the development of standards for emergency egress facility design, and that such therapeutic objectives as "normalization" guide

development of barrier-free design regulations. Finally, this paper outlines particular programmatic themes and

research tasks, and discusses the role of the National Bureau of Standards in improving the technical basis for egress and accessibility design regulations.

Communication techniques in building code implementation,

T. J. Rosenberg, SP552, pp. 1 15-120 (July 1979).

Key words: accessibility standards; building codes; code ad- ministration; communication; physically handicapped;

public awareness; public relations.

Communication is essential in any process of change.

Occasionally, when a building code is altered, changes are made which substantially influence users of the built en- vironment. This is certainly true of building code specifica- tions regarding accessibility for physically handicapped

persons. North Carolina pioneered the development of code

requirements for accessibility. Since implementation of the fundamental provisions in 1973, the State has embarked on

a vigorous educational campaign to increase understanding

of environmental barriers, needs of disabled people, laws and codes. This project has included the production of il- lustrated handbooks, brochures, manual and automatic

slide presentations, radio and television announcements

and newspaper articles. This report explains the selection and development of appropriate media for presentation to audiences including the building community, owners, consumers and others. The techniques are pertinent to other areas of concern, such as energy efficiency in buildings, which affect a wide

spectrum of interests.

A summary of Kentucky's experience in implementing a statewide energy code, J. R. Groves, Jr., SP552, pp. 121-130

(July 1979).

Key words; design professionals; energy audits; energy codes; Kentucky Fire Marshal's office; lighting and thermal

10
efficiency standards; local governments; new construction

plans review; training and education.

In the near future, every state will have to adopt some

form of energy code. Compatibility with existing codes and

code enforcement procedures will be a major consideration

in the adoption and implementation process. Public Law

94-163 made funds available to states for the adoption of

a five-part energy conservation program. Of primary sig- nificance where codes and standards are concerned are the

lighting and thermal provisions of that plan. To implement

those provisions has called for the adoption of an energy

code. For many states, the energy code represents one of if not

the most all inclusive code application and enforcement ef- fort in the area of code enforcement. Especially in those

primarily rural states where building code applications has

been limited to the more urban areas, the adoption of a uniform energy code which applies to all new buildings in- cluding single family residences has posed special

problems.

Energy conservation in building codes and standards, R. W.

Lisle, SP552. pp. 131-140 (July 1979).

Key words: building official; energy code; energy efficient; enforcement; implementation and effective U value; on-site construction.

Many states have recently adopted energy model codes

and standards or are considering the adoption of such

regulations.

This paper explains what has happened in New Mexico

since the adoption of an energy model code two years ago. (September 10, 1976.) The implementation of the code in the real world of on-site construction projects has revealed

several special problems with enforcement and/or in- terpretation of the code. The effective U values being

developed and implemented in New Mexico are adding a new perspective to the traditional understanding of the thermal conductance characteristics of building envelopes.

It may be more cost-effective to paint a south facing wall a dark color than to add insulation.

Implementation of energy conservation standards, J. T. Quinn, SP552,pp. 141-151 (July 1979).

Key words: education; energy utilization codes; illustrated handbook; legislation; thermal envelope criteria; thermal

performance criteria.

Energy conservation in new buildings is one area where

a code will affect virtually all aspects of the building construction. It is an area that can create confusion, misunderstanding and even resentment over a short time span. This can be further heightened when the code is implemented in areas where no code enforcement previously existed. Chapter XXXII "Efficient Energy Utilization in New

Buildings" of the North Carolina State Building Code was

by necessity implemented over a short time frame, and en- forced without exception across the state. The Engineering

and Building Codes Division of the North Carolina Department of Insurance used its previous experience in new

code implementation, the research presented by NCSBCS,

ERDA, and DOE, and some innovative ideas of its own to bring this code into reality across the state, and it is hoped

this experience may be of some benefit to other states as energy conservation codes are implemented by those

states.

The uses of an integrated data base in municipal computer

assisted regulatory systems, N. S. Remmer, SP552, pp. 153- 165 (July 1979).

Key words: computer facilities; integrated data base; municipal governments; regulatory.

Computer based systems are becoming more prevalent

as the basic means of administrative and financial control of municipal governments. With the availability of computer hardware or the access to computational facilities well established in most cases, the consideration of the additional uses for the municipality of such facilities becomes

important.

Two of the many areas receiving considerable attention

at this time relate to building regulatory functions and

housing inspection functions. Several cities have already in- stituted departmental programming for use in normal administrative and control functions. The system in Chicago

for the building department has already been reported at the 1976 NBS Conference. The Boston Housing Inspection

Department has incorporated the use of the computer extensively for their daily operational functions. Many other

cities are in the process or have recently installed systems

to computerize one or more aspects of their housing or

building regulatory functions. The City of Worcester, population of about 180,000, has

been studying for almost two years the potential for a system that would not only provide computerization of

normal building and housing inspection administrative and

control function, but could provide a base for many inter- related functions, and process specialized data for many

coordinated municipal programs. The size of the city precludes the availability of separate

computer facilities for each department. Therefore, the study developed requirements based on a central computer

and interdepartmental accessibility of data and results. By

looking at a coordinated system, it became apparent that many benefits could be derived for a choice of proper initial hardware and careful software considerations. Studies

by departmental personnel and interns from Clark University indicated the following as some examples of potential

use: 1 ) Correlation between housing inspection abatement

notices and building or demolition permit issuances. 2)

Evaluation of potential arson sites based on coordination

of housing inspections and building inspection records and

outstanding tax and water bills. 3) Evaluation of overall neighborhood physical characteristics to determine blight areas, potential blight areas and establish the boundaries of

such areas. 4) Coordination of Fire Dept. building data

and building and housing data.

In addition, there is the potential for coordination of municipal programs involving many other functions and in- tegrated programs involving the building inventory or its infrastructure. The results of the studies so far indicate that while the normal control and administration functions of computer

programs, such as used in Chicago and Boston, have great

potential, the readily available spinoffs from the data base

and information have even more important potential for municipal planning and control of all city programs relat- ing to buildings and their infrastructure.

Exploiting the computer to control the application of design

criteria to construction, R. E. Larson, SP552, pp. 167-183

(July 1979).

Key words: design criteria; guide specifications; habitability

criteria; Computer-Aided Engineering and Architectural

Design System (CAEADS).

11
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is sponsoring the development of a Computer-Aided Engineering and

Architectural Design System (CAEADS) to aid the pro- grammer, planner, designer, and constructor of facilities. One of the basic objectives of CAEADS is to provide for systematic application of design and habitability criteria

that are the counterpart of building codes and standards

adopted by federal, state, and municipal agencies. This

paper will describe the overall conceptual design of

CAEADS and then go into some detail on the specific

system features that deal with criteria.

Construction labor demand system: An overview, W. F. Hahn, SP552. pp. 185-196 (July 1979).

Key words: building trades; construction industry; forecasting; labor information systems; manpower projections;

modelling.

Currently under development by the Department of

Labor is an extensive modelling effort designed to provide

accurate forecasts at a local level of future construction

levels and on-site labor requirements. The Construction

Labor Demand System (CLDS) is a computerized management information system that provides continuously up- dated forecasts for local regions, for specific types of construction, and for precise construction trades. Actual construction project information is the nucleus of

the CLDS system. Information on hundreds of thousands

of current and planned projects are included in CLDS.

Each project is time-phased to completion and estimates

generated of the associated craft requirements.

Forecasts of construction initiations are accomplished

through econometric modelling. Initiation forecasts are transformed into pseudo-projects within CLDS and pseudoprojects are combined with hard project data for the generation of forecasts of construction activity.

A conversion subsystem translates construction activity into demand for labor. Over 200 conversion profiles translate activity levels into time-phased flows of requirements

by occupation.

Proposed criteria for establishing energy consumption stan- dards for existing buildings, R. R. Somers II, T. C. Scott, and

L. S. Fletcher. SP552, pp. 197-209 (July 1979).

Key words: conservation; energy cost; existing buildings;

regulation; retrofit; standards.

Rising energy costs recently have compelled many municipalities and industries to undertake energy conservation

programs in the hopes of reducing energy expenditures.

The current lack of government and industrial standards

specifying acceptable levels of energy use by existing structures, however, makes it difficult for these organizations to determine if their facilities are wasting fuel. This paper

proposes that standards be established for the overall ener- gy efficiency of existing buildings in terms of quantities

which can be computed readily from available data,

without need for elaborate computer programs and/or en- gineering analyses. The paper discusses the type of stan- dards needed to meet these objectives, techniques for for- mulating the standards, and facility classifications (based

upon building functions) for which guidelines should be

developed. By being able to pinpoint buildings using excessive energy without costly or time-consuming analyses,

government and business groups can direct conservation

efforts and funding to the most inefficient facilities, where

conservation programs will be of the greatest value.

Proposed solar energy legislation likely to affect the building

regulatory process, R. J. Smith, SP552, pp. 211-216 (July

1979).

12

Key words: building regulation; energy conservation;

legislation; solar energy. A number of researchers have identified and discussed numerous legal barriers to the effective utilization of vari- ous types of solar energy. Much of the literature also makes specific recommendations for legislation directed at removal of these barriers to solar utilization. This paper

discusses the context in which the legislation has been

drafted, the key features of the legislation, and their potential effect on the building regulatory process. The objective

is to give state and local building regulatory officials and

code administrators an overview of what sorts of legislation

may be introduced at the state and local level so that they

may be better prepared to deal with both the legislative

proposals, and their implementation.

Critical performance standards for passive solar buildings,

J. K. Holton, SP552, pp. 217-224 (July 1979).

Key words: passive solar systems; performance standards; system classification. An outline of a limited number of performance stan- dards and evaluation criteria for passive solar buildings is presented. Three levels of criteria are described which are intended to categorize these into a few most needed

criteria concerning basic thermal performance, health and

safety, and two levels of additional criteria that are thought

desirable to assess long term usefulness of passive installa- tions. Status of development of the criteria is also discussed.

A case for more rational and explicit building regulations, H. M. Markman, SP552, pp. 225-247 (July 1979).

Key words: building codes; code enforcement; fire prevention codes; fire safety; master planning; regulation; stan- dards.

Building regulations are unique in that they are as much

a statement of social attitudes and policies as they are of engineering and technology. To be responsive to one con- cern is not enough. The consensus of the literature on the Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire in Southgate, Kentucky, was that the codes as written are adequate and that this incident should have not occurred. The fault was said to

lie in the improper enforcement of the applicable codes. While this statement may be true, the broader social and

policy issues were nowhere addressed.

Safety is a relative rather than absolute concept. No

safety is obviously not acceptable; total safety is not af- fordable, if possible at all. To date, the building regulatory

community has fixed the level of safety with minimal input or interest from the public at large. But inflation, the in- creasing cost of regulation, and the resistance to excessive government spending will lead to greater public interest in the regulatory process. Regulations will be scrutinized as to their necessity, effectiveness, and utility as a means of effi- ciently allocating protection costs between the public and

private sectors. The challenge for the building regulatory community is to recognize and meet this growing public concern.

Formulation and expression analysis of standards and regulations, J. W. Melin and R. L. Tavis, SP552, pp. 249-266

(July 1979).

Key words: decision tables; formulation analysis; information networks; regulations; standards. A systematic technology for the translation of a stan- dard, building code, regulation or specification into a graphical network and decision tables is presented. This

fl
technology leads to a clear concise expression which aids

in the understanding of the document. It may also be used

to improve the clarity, consistency, completeness of the

provisions. A brief example is used to illustrate the process

of using the technology.

Life-cycle benefit-cost analysis of housing safety regulations,

J. L. Walters, 5^552, pp. 267-282 (July 1979).

Key words: building codes; building regulations; cost- benefit analysis; life-cycle analysis; safety regulations.

Increasingly the public is demanding that proposed

building safety regulations be justified by evidence that they generate benefits commensurate with their costs. This

paper discusses a methodology developed by the author to assess the life-cycle costs and benefits of performance stan- dards for increased safety in the home. The methodology was developed, under contract with the Department of

Housing and Urban Development, for the assessment of

the life-cycle costs and benefits of proposed performance

standards for mobile homes. However, with appropriate

niinlil icalioiis. It can be applied to the analysis of virtually

any building regulations for increased safety.

The need for life-cycle analyses of building regulations

is being increasingly acknowledged, and some excellent ef- forts have been made to develop comprehensive practical

methodologies, but not all of the fundamental issues have

been addressed at this time. Therefore, this paper focuses

principally on fundamental conceptual issues. A secondary

purpose is to describe the basic methodology for actually

measuring the costs and benefits of regulatory options.

Regulatory implications of adopting a metric building code

for the Province of Alberta, Canada, A. J. M. Aikman,

SP552, pp. 283-291 (July 1979).

Key words: building codes; construction; metric.

With the notable exception of the United States and

Canada the majority of the world's countries use the metric system of measurement. Canada is now converting to the metric system on a voluntary basis. The period of conversion is spread over a number of years with each section

of the economy establishing its own targets. The construction industry established January 1, 1978 as the date to begin using metric measurements. The Province of Alberta

is experiencing a rapid and smooth transition from foot- pound units to SI (metric) units and the construction in- dustry is in the forefront. The Alberta Construction Association receives major

credit for its educational programmes and government has

co-operated fully by responding to the industry's requirements rather than by dictating its own ideas. The province

introduced a metric building code in April 1978 with no

opposition because it was supported by all groups involved

in construction.

An approach to third party approval for industrialized housing, C. M. Edwards, SP552, pp. 293-309 (July 1979).

Key words: agencies; approval process;- evaluation; industri- alized housing products; inspection; regulation; third party.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a few years ago

found themselves in a unique position of trying to deter- mine which agencies were qualified to represent the state for the evaluation and inspection of industrialized housing

products to be sold in the state. This paper is a summary

of the experience of Pennsylvania in this area. The use of

Third Party agencies was not created by Pennsylvania, but

it is believed that the approach used by Pennsylvania

deviated from previous practices at the time.

It is the hope of the writer of this paper that by summarizing the Pennsylvania experience, others will be stimulated to refine the approval process for selection and use of third party agencies.

Structural inspection of complex structures, C. G. Cooper

and G. P. Berson, SP552, pp. 31 1-320 (July 1979).

Key words: code enforcement; county building code; criti- cal structures program; expense; inspection requirements;

pre-construction conference.

This paper provides a look at what a local county

government, burdened with the responsibility of inspecting

all new construction, has done to insure quality construction, proper inspection and code compliance for large or complex structures, with a minimum of expense to the tax- payers.

Lighting and building codes for energy conservation, M. S. Millet, J. R. Bedrick, G. S. Spencer, and G. B. Varey, SP552,

pp. 321-335 (July 1979).

Key words: building codes; building performance simulation; computer applications; energy conservation; illumination standards; lighting distribution simulation; visual per- formance.

The role of lighting within the purpose of building codes

is discussed. A review is made of the continuing controversy over the visual performance criteria being used as the basis for lES (Illuminating Engineering Society) recom- mended levels of illumination. These levels are the present

design procedure base levels for the ASHRAE 90-75 and

NCSBCS Code for Energy Conservation lighting power

budget procedure. The third section of the paper lists the objectives of an energy-conserving building code for

lighting and compares the NCSBCS code with a lighting

power budget approach recommended for Seattle by the

Citizens' Task Force on an Energy-Conserving Building

Code, on which the author serves. The final issue discussed

is an alternative for the future, a performance standard. Thorough evaluation of lighting alternatives for energy

conservation will require detailed analysis, such as computer simulation, that looks at the interaction of the build- ing components and systems. A lighting computer program

which has been developed at the University of Washington

to predict illumination levels from daylight and from artificial light sources is described briefly, and its inclusion in a larger building performance simulation outlined.

Tax shelter in construction: Public objectives and private incentives, U. P. Gauchat, SP552, pp. 337-346 (July 1979).

Key words: building; private interests; public objectives; taxation; tax incentives.

Building as an activity is strongly conditioned by both

the taxation system and the building regulatory mechanism.

Since both of these systems represent public commitments

and funds, it is reasonable to assert that the ensuing con- sequences should, whenever possible, be mainly in the public interest. The main purpose of the regulatory system

is to protect the public by maintaining adequate health and

safety standards. An ostensible goal of the incentives as re- lated to building is to further public objectives by en- couraging specific activities perceived to be of societal value, which are not adequately covered by a free market

situation. It is felt that current tax incentives in building,

however, are not always in the public interest, but rather serve private interests instead.

It is felt that some conceptual changes in the building process and pattern of ownership could best combine the

13
intent of the regulatory and taxation systems with public

interest objectives. It is suggested that the tax incentives in building could be designed to draw distinctions between

those aspects of building which are market-related (and

hence in the private interest) and those portions which are health and safety oriented (and hence in the public interest). It is futher suggested that tax incentives in building

bear a direct relationship to the degree of public utility in- volved. The implications of this proposition are examined in the

light of increasing economic pressures to produce large

quantities of housing efficiently and economically.

Resource zoning and land use planning: An examination of urban infrastructures, U. P. Gauchat and D. L. Schodek,

SP552, pp. 347-360 (July 1979).

Key words: infrastructure; land use; resource zoning;

urban; zoning regulations.

Buildings cater to the full array of human activities. They are disposed over the landscape in a range of pat- terns and densities. Each pattern not only designates spatial arrangements of building masses, but also sponsors a

series of mostly invisible supply and distribution networks.

Existing infrastructures, particularly in urban areas, tend

to be old, badly maintained and often in less than excellent

condition. Each network has a maximum carrying capacity

which is determined by the type of system and its state of

repair. While it is possible to envision far more technologically advanced infrastructure systems than we now possess, the extent of the investment in our current systems is so

vast as to mitigate against any radical changes in the for- seeable future. Land use policies therefore must more

directly begin to face the issue of how best to cope with an infrastructure system of a fixed or even declining quality and capacity.

The capacity of existing infrastructure systems, particularly of water and sewerage, can be a determining

factor in imposing density and other land use constraints. Thus, many typical city zoning ordinances are directly or

indirectly influenced by the character of the existing infras- tructure. Zoning regulations based mainly on these considerations may not, however, be the most socially or economically advantageous.

This paper proposes an approach to land use planning

involving the concept of Resource Zoning. This type of

zoning draws a clear distinction between ordinances that

relate to social goals and those that relate to constraints

imposed by the existing infrastructure. It is felt that the idea of Resource Zoning would not only prove valuable in the context of land use planning but could also provide the necessary incentive for the development of innovative

practices in the design of service systems for individual

buildings.

Nat. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Spec. Publ. 565, 36 pages (Dec.

1979) SN003-003-02142-3.

Key words: friction; measurement; reference standards;

safety research; walkway slip-resistance.

This report summarizes NBS research in the area of walkway

and shoe slip-resistance measurement since 1924 and outlines current activities that will provide a technical basis for slip-re- sistance measurement. The work of Sigler, Hunter, Boone and

14
Brungraber represents the historic perspective. Current activities in data base development and identification of standard

reference surfaces contribute to a rational basis for quantitative

slip-resistance criteria for building codes and standards. Proposed future research thrusts include personal factors such

as human biokinetic and perceptual variables, as well as en- vironmental factors such as lighting in the built environment.

This research will contribute to the development of new inter- vention strategies to reduce deaths and injuries due to slips and

falls.

NBSIR 77-1289. The measurement of wind loads on a full-scale mobile home, R. D. Marshall, 132 pages (Sept. 1977). Order

from NTIS as PB297463.

Key words; aerodynamics; building; codes and standards;

full-scale testing; mobile homes; wind loads. An experimental investigation of wind loads acting on a full- scale mobile home is reported. The objectives of the investigation were ( I ) the direct measurement of surface pressures and

overall drag and lift forces, (2) the formulation of recom- mended loads for the design of mobile homes and their anchoring systems to resist forces due to wind and (3) the measure- ment of deflections and the identification of failure modes with

application of simulated wind loads. Measurements were obtained for a variety of wind speeds

and relative wind directions using a mobile home with nominal

plan dimensions of 12 by 60 ft (3.7 by 18.3m). Wind speeds were measured at five levels ranging from 3 to 18m and the mean velocity profiles were found to be best described by a power law with exponent a = 0.18. Extreme negative pressure

fluctuations were found to occur on the end walls and along

the perimeter of the roof. The resonant component of response

of the mobile home to drag and lift forces is negligible for basic

wind speeds up to 90 mph (40 m/s) and the average maximum

lift loads are not strongly influenced by the presence or absence of skirting.

Recommended design loads are based on the average max- imum event in a time interval of 1000 seconds and are tabulated for assumed basic wind speeds of 70 and 90 mph (31 and

40 m/s) and a moderately open wind exposure.

NBSIR 78-1496. Preliminary data on the field performance of storage-type residential water heaters, R. A. Grot and L. S. Galowin, 27 pages (Apr. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB29543I.

Key words: energy usage; load profiles; water heaters.

The early results of a field experiment for determining the performance of gas and electric residential storage water

heaters are presented. Energy requirements for hot water

supply and hot water consumption and usage pattern data are presented and analyzed using statistical techniques in order to display average load curves and the variation about the average. It is shown that the daily energy usage of these water

heaters is approximately a linear function of the energy content

of the drawn daily water consumption. This fact allows a simple

procedure to be used for evaluating the effects of retrofit actions on the performance of the water heater.

NBSIR 78-1501. Quantified occupant-use factors affecting ener- gy consumption in residences, R. E. Clark and S. R. Hastings,

143 pages (July 1979). Order from NTIS as PB298052.

Key words; appliance energy consumption; energy con- sumption of residences; lighting energy consumption; occupant factors; residential air conditioning; service hot water; space heating; ventilation.

Predicting energy consumption for a building requires three types of data; climatic data, component performance data, and

occupant-use data. Historically, few data on occupant use of a building have been collected, and the data which are collected

are not easily referenced. Consequently, it is common for ener- gy analysts to establish values for occupant variables merely on

the basis of their own personal experience. In response to this dilemma, this report assembles residential energy-use data, as could be found, from field metering studies, surveys, utility company estimates, and government sponsored statistical projections. From these data the authors have determined recom- mended occupant-use values based on their analysis and

judgments. These "recommended values" represent the best judgment of the present authors, but are not to be interpreted

as "NBS recommended" values. Data, and assessment of their

validity for input in models for predicting energy consumption,

are organized into six groups by energy end-use: (1) heating,

(2) service hot water, (3) appliances, (4) lighting, (5) air conditioning, and (6) ventilation. The use of more soundly derived

values for occupant-use variables will result in a better correlation between the energy use predicted for buildings being

designed today and the actual energy use of the buildings when

occupied.

NBSIR 78-1521. French schools— A report of the U.S. team visit to France from November 13 to 23, 1977, P. Driscoll, Coordinator, 42 pages (Mar. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB296148.

Key words; building technology; France/NBS cooperative

program; French schools.

By June 1970, the National Bureau of Standards and the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bailment had effectively

begun a cooperative program in building technology. The pur- pose of this program was to increase jointly the French and

United States capability to develop building sciences and

technology, seek answers to significant building problems, and

reduce costly and wasteful duplication of parallel national ef- forts. This collaboration has provided opportunities for representatives of both nations to exchange ideas, skills, infor- mation and techniques in attacking problems of particular mutual interest. These opportunities have included the exchange

of selected literature, with translations of main papers and

publications; the exchange of long-term interns working in the

16
organization of the other country on subjects requiring special

facilities; work by one organization for the benefit of the other not as well equipped, either in staff or in equipment; and the exchange of missions of experts from one country to the other

to study special work. It is precisely this exchange of missions

of experts, to study specific work, that produced the report

which follows.

NBSIR 79-1705 State solar energy legislation of 1977: A review

of statutes relating to buildings, R. M. Eisenhard and L. A.

Santucci, 396 pages (Feb. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB295642.

Key words; buildings; design; energy; legislation; solar; standards; State.

This report reviews State legislation on solar energy, as applied to buildings, which was enacted in 1977. Acts involve tax incentives, sun rights, standards for solar units, and State support of promotion of solar research, solar demonstrations, and

solar loans. The Acts are identified and abstracted, and responsible State agencies and officials identified. The Acts, supporting forms and other documents are included in the Appendices.

NBSIR 79-1706. CSA weatherization demonstration project

plan, R. Crenshaw, R. Clark, R. Chapman, R. Grot, and M.

Codetta, 81 pages (Mar. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB293498.

Key words: Community Services Administration; heating

balance point analysis; low-income residences; marginal

cost/benefit analysis in weatherization; optimum

weatherization retrofit combinations; thermal analysis of

residences.

This report comprises the plan of a research and demonstration effort to determine the fraction of energy that may be

saved by installing weatherization retrofits in poor peoples'

homes throughout the United States. Two broad groups of

weatherization retrofits are considered for application in each

dwelling: I) "architectural," those affecting the building shell, and 2) "mechanical," those affecting space heating and service hot water systems. The optimum combination of weatherization

options is defined as that set of retrofits which maximizes net

savings (the difference between savings in fuel usage and the

cost of the retrofits) over 20 years for a particular house and

climatic environment. The retrofits will be selected through

present-value benefit/cost analysis. The savings will be

established through analysis of utility billings and fuel delivery

records before and after weatherization. The report presents

the background of the demonstration, the research tasks as- sociated with the demonstration, a description of the diagnostic

tests to be used, the rationale for economic decisions, the tests for evaluating mechanical systems, and the calculation methods

used in selecting architectural options.

NBSIR 79-1709. Description of the data acquisition and instru- mentation systems: Jersey City total energy project, C. Bulik,

W. G. Rippey, C. W. Hurley, and D. E. Rorrer, 160 pages (Mar. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB294926.

Key words: data acquisition system; digital tape recorder;

fuel measurement; instrumentation; total energy; transducers; weather station.

Under the sponsorship of the Department of Housing and

Urban Development (HUD), the National Bureau of Standards

(NBS) gathered engineering data on an operating diesel total energy plant which supplies all electrical power, hot water, and

chilled water to a 485 unit apartment/commercial building

complex in Jersey City, New Jersey. Engineering data was continuously collected from April 1975 to December 1978 by a data acquisition system (DAS) which recorded the outputs

from approximately 200 sensors located in the plant and site buildings.

This report describes the design and operation of the instru- mentation system and the data acquisition system used to monitor the total energy plant and certain utility services to the site buildings. The report contains a description of the types, characteristics and locations of instruments used to measure

physical variables. The capabilities and operational modes of

the data acquisition system components are described in detail. The report also contains a brief description of the total energy

plant and site, instrument costs, data processing procedures and some of the instrumentation problems encountered.

NBSIR 79-1713. Final report on the "BFIRES/Version 1" computer simulation of emergency egress behavior during fires: Calibration and analysis, F. I. Stahl, 179 pages (Mar. 1979).

Order from NTIS as PB295063.

Key words; architectural research; building fires; computeraided design; environmental psychology; fire research; fire safety; human performance; modeling technique; pro- gramming; sensitivity analysis; simulation.

This report documents computer simulation experiments

designed to calibrate and analyze BFIRES, a computer program

which simulates building occupants' egress behavior during

fires. This report demonstrates that emergency egress behavior

under certain specified conditions can be systematically conceptualized, and simulated through the use of a digital computer. Important findings concerning the calibration and sensitivity of BFIRES are also discussed. In particular, it is shown

that: (a) a variety of general egress situations may be simulated

through the application of BFIRES; (b) every such event is unique, and is defined by the set of user-supplied input parameter values which describe the building, the threat, and the occupants; (c) BFIRES may be used in simulated environments of

known (or desired) spatial dimension, and events of known (or

desired) temporal duration; and (d) BFIRES simulation out- comes are sensitive to variations in a number of parameters of immediate interest to the building design and regulatory communities.

NBSIR 79-1728. A low-cost method for measuring air infiltra- tion rates in a large sample of dwellings, R. A. Grot, 14 pages

(Apr. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB295444.

Key words: air infiltration; air sample bags; energy conservation; retrofit; sulfur hexafluoride; tracer gas; weatherization. A method for collecting air infiltration data in a large sample

of dwellings is presented. The method consists of a tracer gas

dilution technique employing air sample bags which are analyzed in a central laboratory. The method will be applied to a Community Services Administration optimal weatherization

demonstration in approximately 300 dwellings on 16 sites throughout the United States. The method will yield air exchange rates under typical heating season condition for each

dwelling in the demonstrations. Preliminary data on air infiltration rates in low-income housing in Portland, Maine are presented.

NBSIR 79-1729. Pedestrian movement on ramps— A preliminary investigation, G. E. Turner and B. L. Collins, 62 pages (Mar. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB294856.

Key words: building circulation; building ramps; pedestrian

circulation; pedestrian flow; pedestrian movement;

pedestrian ramps; ramps.

The research described in this report was a preliminary in- vestigation of pedestrian movement characteristics on two

specific building ramps. Variables of pedestrian movement such

as speed, flow, and area were studied, as well as the relation- ships between these variables. In addition, the specific measure- ments of speed, flow and area were compared with similar measurements determined by other researchers not only for ramps.

17
but also for stairs and level surfaces. Finally, suggestions were made for additional research into the characteristics of

pedestrian movement on various elements of the building circulation system.

NBSIR 79-1730. Protecting adobe walls from ground water, J. R. Clifton and F. Davis, 29 pages (Mar. 1979). Order from

NTIS as PB295041.

Key words: adobe building materials; chemical grouts;

damp course membrane; metallic membrane; permeability;

preservation technology.

Two methods for creating impervious membranes in existing

adobe walls were investigated. They were the injection of

chemical grouts and installation of a metallic membrane.

Chemical grouting was unsuccessful because of the low

permeability of the tested adobe materials. The metallic membrane did prevent the migration of moisture in the adobe un- derneath the membrane, weakening the adobe. Further, soluble

salts migrated to the surface of the wet adobe. Alternative

methods for protecting adobe structures from ground water and

runoff water are discussed, including the installation of effective drainage systems and upgrading the foundations.

(July 1979). Order from NTIS as PB299448.

Key words; building energy consumption analysis; computerized building energy analysis; cooling load calculation; energy conservation; heating load calculation; NBSLD

analysis of residences; residential energy conservation;

thermal mass effect in buildings.

A number of design variations of a typical one-story singlefamily residence were analyzed to determine annual heating

and cooling energy requirements. The National Bureau of Stan- dards Load Determination computer program, NBSLD, was

used to accomplish the analysis. Design details for each of the residence variations are described in detail. Annual heating and

cooling energy requirement calculations are presented and

discussed. The results show only a small dependence on the thermal mass of the building envelope for the two climates stu- died (Washington, D.C. and Orlando, Florida). The thermal

properties of the windows had a greater effect. Concluding the report are technical generalizations based on the present study,

and recommendations for further work in order to produce a

definitive study of the effect of selected building design

parameters on energy consumption.

Key words; infrared thermometers; in situ evaluation of in- sulation; R-value measurement by spot radiometer; thermal

resistance of walls.

Hand-held infrared (IR) noncontact surface thermometers

from two manufacturers were tested to evaluate their effective- ness in measuring surface temperatures for the determination of

the thermal resistance of walls. Two phases of the test were

performed, first a laboratory test of a wood-frame wall, fol- lowed by a field test of a brick veneer wood-frame wall. During

both phases of testing, additional measurements of thermal re- sistance were made for comparative purposes, using multijunction thermopiles and heat flow meters. An error analysis of the thermal resistance measurement procedure utilizing IR surface thermometers was also performed.

Order from NTIS as PB295898.

Key words; ASHRAE Standard 94-77; Glauber's salt; latent heat storage; pebble bed; phase-change unit; solar energy

storage; thermal energy storage device.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air

Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has recently adopted

ASHRAE Standard 94-77 —Methods of Testing Thermal

Storage Devices Based on Thermal Performance. Experiments

have been completed at the National Bureau of Standards in which a 7 m^ (250 ft^) pebble-bed and a similarly-sized 264 MJ

(250,000 Btu) phase-change unit utilizing sodium sulfate decahydrate, both using air as the transfer fluid, were tested in accordance with this Standard. A description of the test procedure, test apparatus, and detailed test results is given.

Some problems were encountered in using the Standard for these kinds of thermal energy storage devices, and modifications to the Standard are recommended based on these experi- ments.

presentation in a form from which the summary performance

reports of the Total Energy Site are produced.

The major functions of the Jersey City total energy data edit- ing and conversion software program developed by the National Bureau of Standards are described in some detail. In- cluded are descriptions of the command structure, overall data

flow, data editing, data conversions, error processing, and the creation of data output tapes for use in further analysis. The more important subroutines which are used to handle the in- dividual operations are also discussed. The equations used in the calculation of engineering units are described, along with

their derivations where appropriate.

The report assumes that the reader has a basic familiarity

with computer and engineering terminology.

B. C. Pierman, 38 pages (June 1979). Order from NTIS as PB298175.

Key words: communication; evaluation methods; fire

safety; hazard warnings; pictograms; safety information;

standardization; symbols.

The increasing use of symbols to convey fire safety information nonverbally is described. In addition, the trend toward in- ternational standardization of symbols is discussed for transportation and other systems. The need for further research on symbols is discussed in terms of the advantages and disadvantages

of symbol use. Advantages include rapid and accurate communication without the barriers of verbal language. Disadvantages

include the too rapid proliferation of different symbols and in- appropriate or misleading application. Furthermore, the failure to evaluate the understandability of each symbol is cited as a major problem. A case study which documents some of the ad- vantages and disadvantages of a set of proposed fire-safety symbols is presented. Finally, areas for further research on symbol

evaluation are discussed.

NBSIR 79-1766. Studies on the photodegradation of poly

(methyl methacrylate), M. Abouelezz and P. F. Waters, 52

pages (June 1979). Order from NTIS as PB281828.

Key words: degradation; IR; photodegradation; poly

(methyl methacrylate); UV; visible. When poly (methyl methacrylate), PMMA, is exposed to sunlight, it gradually degrades and, after long-term exposures, may be unable to perform its intended functions. While the photodegradation of PMMA has been studied extensively using

radiation sources below 300 nm, natural sunlight at the earth's surface does not extend below 292 nm. This study was per- formed in order to examine the effect of the radiation from the upper part of the ultraviolet, UV, and the visible regions on PMMA and to identify the mechanism(s) of degradation in- duced by the radiation. Thin films of PMMA were irradiated in air with upper UV,

upper UV-visible, upper U V-visible-near infrared and 436 and

546 nm radiation. Exposure to either the upper UV or visible radiation caused degradation of the polymer. The data show

that both random scission and unzipping of the polymer chain

are operative in the degradation. Unzipping becomes increasingly important with incident radiation of increasing

wavelength.

NBSIR 79-1781. Field performance of residential refrigerators

and combination refrigerator-freezers, Y. M. L. Chang and R. A. Grot, 46 pages (July 1979). Order from NTIS as PB299058.

Key words: combination refrigerator-freezer field data;

daily load profiles; energy consumption; field measurments;

hourly load profiles; refrigerator field data; usage profiles.

Evaluation of the performance of household refrigerators and

combination refrigerator-freezers was undertaken in a field ex- periment to determine the effect of room environment and oc- cupant-usage habits on energy consumption of these appliances.

This report presents the results of such an experiment in ten townhouses at Twin Rivers, N.J. One-door manual defrost and

two-door frost-free models of various sizes were studied. Energy consumption, kitchen temperature, refrigerator temperature

and door openings were measured for each model by data

acquisition systems located in the townhouse basements. Both

daily and hourly averages and variations about the average for each variable were calculated to determine occupant-usage patterns.

Statistical techniques were utilized to obtain the effect of

parameters on energy consumption of these appliances by

linear regression of both one- and two-parameter models.

It was found that for a given model the temperature dif- ference between the kitchen and the refrigerator (either main

or freezer section) had the most effect on energy consumption.

with a lesser, though still important, contribution from the door

openings.

In addition, the normalized energy consumption of each

model, in different combinations of variables, was calculated from its regression coefficients and the overall average values of parameters from the measurements. The results of these nor- malized values turned out to be within 5%. Therefore, their mean values could be considered as the typical energy con- sumption for each refrigerator or combination, under usage

conditions. The linear relationship among the combination refrigerator- freezers according to their physical sizes indicated an increase of about 0.55 kWh per day for each additional cubic foot in- crease in volume. Energy conservation by using a manualdefrost refrigerator was predicted at approximately 40% from

the available measurements and other related laboratory test results.

NBSIR 79-1789. Economic analysis of insulation in selected masonry and wood-frame walls, S. R. Petersen, 137 pages

(Sept. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB80-101967.

Key words: building economics; energy conservation; insulation; life-cycle cost analysis; masonry construction; space

heating and cooling requirements; thermal mass.

This report provides a life-cycle cost-benefit analysis of

several alternative methods for insulating 8 in (200 mm)

concrete masonry walls in new single-family residences. In addition, a cost-benefit analysis for insulation in wood-frame walls

is provided, consistent with the assumptions used in the masonry wall analysis. A dynamic load simulation model, NBSLD,

was used to calculate the heating and cooling requirements for a 1 176 square foot (110 m'^) house with different levels of ther- mal resistance for both wall types in eight geographic locations. These data are used to calculate the reduction in annual heat- ing and cooling requirements due to several different types of

insulation in the cores and furring spaces of the masonry wall and the cavities of the wood-frame wall. Economic analysis is applied to determine estimates of life- cycle savings from insulation for different locations and furnace

types in order to determine the most cost-effective insulation

level. In general it is found that the maximum economically

justifiable level of insulation in the masonry wall is considerably

lower than for the wood-frame wall because of the significantly

higher cost of insulating masonry walls.

NBSIR 79-1796. Preliminary findings concerning the validity of "BFIRES": A comparison of simulated with actual fire events,

F. I. Stahl, 22 pages (Aug. 1979), Order from NTIS as PB299451.

Key words: architectural research; building fires; computeraided design; computer simulation; environmental

psychology; fire research; fire safety; human performance;

modeling technique; simulation.

This report presents preliminary findings regarding the validity of BFIRES/VERSION 1 , a computer program developed at the National Bureau of Standards to simulate egress movement

by building occupants during fires. A computer simulation ex- periment was conducted in order to compare outcomes from

BFIRES runs with data selected from an archival file summarizing actual fire results. Findings from this experiment suggest

that BFIRES is capable of reproducing such important fire out- comes as loss-of-life indices and numbers of persons ultimately

escaping. In addition, patterns of egress behavior produced by

BFIRES were compared with those found in the literature, with

professional opinions, and with impressions gathered from

anecdotal accounts. With few exceptions, these comparisons illustrate agreement between simulations and other data sources.

Key words: mobile home; packaged solar space-heating

system; rating; standards; testing.

As part of a continuing program to develop test methods for

solar heating equipment, NBS is now developing a standard test procedure for packaged solar space-heating systems similar to

test procedures now used for solar collectors and thermal

storage devices, and now under development for packaged

solar water-heating systems. As a first step, a mobile home,

which was previously tested for thermal performance in an en- vironmental chamber, was equipped with a packaged solar space-heating system using air-heating collectors and pebblebed storage. The system was fully instrumented and data were

collected over the 1977-78 heating season at the NBS site in Gaithersburg, MD. The performance of the system was deter- mined and various methods of correlating performance were

explored.

Burnette, 97 pages (Mar. 1979). Order from NTIS as PB294855.

Key words; access to information; architect; information

format; information sources; technical information;

technology application.

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview and some insight into the circumstances which constrain and in- fluence architects when they must obtain information during

the course of the design and construction process. It is intended

for those outside the profession who wish to understand the conditions which influence the use of the information they provide to architects, and for architects who would consider the nature and context of their difficulties in obtaining information

as they need it. While some avenues of progress and change are

indicated, this report does not propose detailed solutions and

improvements to be sought in the media, forms and channels

of access or dissemination nor is it entirely an explanation of

the systems which exist. It is, rather, a brief guide to the major

features of the problems and to the nature of their effects. A

second report in this series will present exemplary formats and

guidelines for the successful delivery of information to

architects. An extensive bibliography is attached.

NBS-GCR-78-154. Making information useful to architects, C.

H. Burnette, 101 pages (Dec. 1978). Order from NTIS as PB292782.

Key words: access to information; architect; information

format; information sources; technical information;

technology application.

The purpose of this report is to present rationales, practical

formats and dissemination guidelines to foster the successful

delivery of information to practicing architects by those in commerce, government, research organizations and trade or

professional associations who produce and supply information

useful to them. This report is intended as a complement to

"Architect's Access to Information: Constraints on the

Architect's Capacity to Seek, Obtain, Translate and Apply In- formation." It presents a comprehensive spectrum of exemplary

practices in such a way as to provide a coordinated basis for

both informal and formal actions to improve the delivery of in- formation to architects. It is, therefore, an independent explanatory critique of the state of the art of current practice in- tended as a useful reference for those considering the structure,

content, form and delivery of information services. A bibliography is included.

NBS-GCR-78-156. Home safety guidelines for architects and

Order from NTIS as PB292928.

Key words: accident avoidance; accidents in the home;

door accidents; home accidents; home safety; safety in the home; stair accidents; stair safety; window accidents; window safety.

This document has its goal the analysis, organization and

presentation of state-of-the-art information on home accidents

and ways to reduce their frequency and/or severity. It is in- tended to be used in the design and rehabilitation of dwellings

and its primary users are intended to be architects, followed by

homebuilders, product designers and homeowners.

The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS)

of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), collects and organizes accident data according to product,

frequency, severity of injury and on age and sex of accident

victims. These data are statistically representative of accidents

occurring nationwide, as are the injury costs associated with

each accident type.

Using this substantial and elegant data base, several so- phisticated analyses of accidents involving the fixed architectural elements of homes, such as stairs, floors, bathtubs and

showers, doors, and windows have recently been undertaken

under the sponsorship of various government agencies. This series of analyses has resulted in a much clearer picture of how

accidents involving these housing elements occur and of their associated costs to the nation. This document brings together

these research findings as a guide to design and construction.

NBS-GCR-79-181. Snow and ice accumulation at solar collector

installations in the Chicago metropolitan area, R B. Corotis, C. H. Dowding, and E. C. Rossow, 109 pages (Oct. 1979).

Order from NTIS as PB80-1 13749.

Key words; building; ice; load; roof; roof load; snow; solar

collector; structural engineering.

This report presents observations and data concerning snow

and ice on eighteen flat plate solar collector installations in the Chicago area. The data was collected in February and March

of 1979, following a record snowfall in January. Nearly all of

the installations were on the roofs of buildings, and about half were mounted flush with the roof. The remainder were mounted on racks at an angle to the roof. Sketches and photographs of the buildings and snow accumulation, weather data

for the entire winter, and comments of the owners are included, as well as a technique for the extraction of linear measurements from the photographs. A significant observation was

that the loss of operation of the solar collectors due to snow

covering the collector exceeded two months at several sites. This is apparently due to the heavy snowfall, extreme cold, and

lack of manual snow removal capability. Other observations

and recommendations concerning functional and structural problems are included in the report.

Key words; heating and cooling load; hybrid computer;

NBSLD; thermal comfort.

A comprehensive treatment of building heat transfer processes is employed by the National Bureau of Standards

Heating and Cooling Load Calculation program NBSLD to study the effect of various building parameters upon the result- ing heating and cooling load and thermal comfort of occupants,

in order to evaluate energy conservation strategies. The basis of the computation is the detailed solution of simultaneous heat

balance equations at all of the interior surfaces of a room or

space. Transient heat conduction through the exterior walls and

in the interior structures is handled by using conduction

transfer functions. The use of heat balance equations, although more time consuming than the conventional load calculation

procedures, avoids the vagueness and uncertainties inherent in the latter. In addition, it is more accurate for a specific building

design. Also mentioned in this paper is use of a hybrid computing system whereby simultaneous transfer of air, moisture and

heat in and through the building can be studied more efficiently

than by the conventional digital computer.

Key words: computer time; conduction-transfer functions;

dynamic heat transfer; thermal response factors.

The thermal response factor technique for calculating

dynamic heat conduction through walls, floors, and roofs is util- ized in many computer programs for determining building heating and cooling loads. Considerable computation time and computer memory space are devoted to the use of this technique,

and it is advantageous to reduce the time and space required.

Reduction in computation time and computer memory space can be achieved by the use of the zeroth through fifth-order conduction-transfer functions. Computation time can be

reduced by about one-half, and it is possible to reduce the memory space to one-fourth of that presently used in the computer program NBSLD.

Information is presented on the wind structure in established

flow over terrains with various roughness characteristics (open

water, open terrain, suburban terrain, towns, centers of large

cities). Based on recent results of theoretical and experimental

meteorological studies a simple procedure is then proposed,

enabling the designer to assess the effect upon the mean wind

profile of a roughness change upwind of the structure under

consideration. The procedure, which is approximate but

adequate for structural engineering purposes, is then illustrated

in a numerical example.

This paper examines a number of the programs being conducted at NBS, identifies the intended user groups, and describes some of the paths of communication that are being used. It is hoped that a clearer understanding of the research/user linkage will lead to more effective communication between those working in the field.

Key words: boiler; combustion; energy; furnace; gas-fired;

heating; oil-fired; rating; space-heating; testing.

22
An evaluation procedure is described for estimating the seasonal efficiency of a gas or oil-fired furnace which is located

in an indoor heated space and uses conditioned air for combustion and draft control. It involves carrying out the following

four tasks: 1 ) measuring the flue gas temperature and COj concentration during steady-state operation; 2) obtaining information on the shape of the flue gas temperature-vs-time curves as a unit cools-down and warms-up from steady-state conditions;

3) assigning appropriate values to various factors which

describe the off-period air flow rate through the flue and stack, the degree of furnace oversizing, and the effect of furnace

operation on infiltration, and 4) carrying out the calculation procedure described herein to determine the various on-period

and off-period losses and the seasonal efficiency of a furnace

or boiler operating in any given climatic region. Several examples are worked out to illustrate the nature of this simplified

procedure.

(Mar. 1978).

Key words; abnormal loads; buildings (codes); probability

theory; progressive collapse; reliability; structural engineering.

A progressive collapse is a chain reaction type of failure which follows damage to a relatively small portion of a structure. Progressive collapse constitutes an unacceptable hazard in many buildings, and thus procedures for its control should be

incorporated in building standards. Design strategies for reducing the risk of initial failure and for controlling the amount of

damage that occurs are presented and their relative advantages

are discussed. Design criteria are given for the reduced loads

to be carried by a damaged structure.

Key words: ASHRAE Standards; evaluation of test procedure; solar heating components; standard test procedure; thermal storage tests; water tank thermal

storage.

The National Bureau of Standards proposed a standard test procedure for rating thermal storage devices in mid-1975. Early

in 1977, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and

Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) adopted ASHRAE

Standard 94-77, "Methods of Testing Thermal Storage Devices

Based on Thermal Performance," which is based substantially on the NBS procedure. In order to evaluate the Standard, NBS

has conducted an experiment in which a 1.9 m^ (500 gal) water

tank, built as part of a residential solar heating and cooling

system, was tested in accordance with this Standard. A description of the test apparatus, test procedure, and detailed test results are given. It was found that there were no major

problems encountered in using the Standard • for this kind of

thermal storage device. In addition, suggestions are made for minor modifications in the Standard.

Key words: computer; hot water; measurement; rating;

solar; standards; testing.

A theoretical study was conducted to determine how experimental data might be collected on solar domestic water heating

systems over a short period of time and then used to characterize the performance of the system. The analysis involved

stimulating typical state-of-the-art systems using the computer

program TRNSYS. The simulations and associated analyses were succesful in indicating a method of correlating the fraction of the hot water load supplied by solar energy with the primary independent variables governing the system performance.

Actual test data for a commercially available system were then

used to substantiate the value of the correlation.

Needs for a more complete and effective technical basis for design standards impacting occupants' access to, movement

within, and egress from buildings and building sites are discussed. It is suggested that a major cause of injury and death

from fire, and of inconvenience and psychological stigmatization to physically handicapped persons, results (even in codecomplying buildings and sites) from adherence to design regulations which are narrowly founded upon physical and engineering principles alone. This paper recommends that psychological

aspects of dangerous and stressful situations guide the development of standards for emergency egress facility design, and that such therapeutic objectives as "normalization" guide development of barrier-free design regulations. Finally, this paper outlines particular programmatic themes and research tasks, and

discusses the role of the National Bureau of Standards in improving the technical basis for egress and accessibility design

regulations.

23
Absorptive coatings used in solar heating and cooling systems

absorb energy from the sun and convert it to thermal energy.

It is essential that coatings used for this purpose be durable for extended periods of time. However, the environment in which

absorptive coatings are used can cause rapid degradation. For

example, the temperature at the coating surface can reach 250

°C or higher under collector stagnation conditions. Likewise,

exposure to moisture, ultraviolet (uv) radiation and other factors can also induce degradation. Numerous problems in solar energy systems have clearly shown the need for standards by

which solar absorptive coatings can be evaluated. The Center

for Building Technology of the National Bureau of Standards

is performing research, under Department of Energy sponsorship, to develop draft standards for absorptive coatings. The

standards will be submitted to the American Society for Testing

and Materials (ASTM) for consideration as consensus stan- dards. Fourteen selective and nonselective absorbers have been

evaluated in laboratory and field tests to obtain data needed to prepare the draft standards. The laboratory tests have

emphasized thermal stability, moisture stability, uv stability and

compatibility with substrates. Field tests, in which coatings are exposed to stagnation conditions in three different climates, are

also being performed. Absorptance (a) and emittance (e) are measured before and after the laboratory and field exposures. The data obtained, the test methods used and two interim test method standards prepared as result of the research are

(radon and daughter products) as a potential factor in build- ing ventilation, ASHRAE J. 21, No. 7, 30-34 (July 1979).

Key words: energy conservation design; indoor radiation; radon in buildings; ventilation and radon concentration.

Awareness has developed in the United States, particularly

within the last five years, that traces of radioactive radon gas and its daughter products are present in varying amounts in the indoor air. Some of the existing literature on the subject is briefly reviewed and discussed. It is recommended that further

attention be given to quantify radon concentration data pertinent to the environmental health aspects of ventilation requirements from the standpoint of indoor air quality consistent with building energy conservation.

Key words: air-conditioning; comfort; education; environ- ment; human factors; research; school.

The results of several research projects are summarized.

These projects have attempted to relate thermal comfort, learning and productivity. They show indications of positive correlation (optimal comfort appears to result in maximum learning,

etc.) but these are not well supported by commonly accepted

experimental statistics. The problem seems to rest in quantifying highly variable individual human motivation as other experimental conditions are varied. This seems particularly true in the

usually employed experiments of a few hours duration on many human subjects. On the other hand, investigating long- term effects of fatigue and motivation over many weeks is ex- pensive and time-consuming, and control of the subjects when

they are not under the experimental conditions has been

minimal in studies of this type up to the present time.

in horizontal fluctuating flow. Eng. Struct. 1, No. 4, 207-210

(July 1979).

Key words: aerodynamic stability; aeroelasticity; fluctuating

flow; flutter; suspended-span structures; time-dependent

loads. A procedure is presented for determining the mean flutter velocity of a symmetrical plate with a vertical and a torsional degree of freedom in a flow with periodic horizontal fluctuations. Expressions of the self-excited forces based on a generalized Theodorsen-type model are used. The resulting flutter motion is described by a system of generalized Mathieu-Hill equations to which the stability criteria of the theory of dynamic

systems with periodic coefficients are applied. A numerical ex- ample is given for a plate with mechanical characteristics comparable to those of a suspension bridge in a flow with fluctuations comparable to those occurring in natural winds. It is found that the effect of such fluctuations upon the value of the mean flutter velocity is negligible. This suggests that in in- vestigating the aerodynamic stability of a suspension bridge

with characteristics similar to those dealt with in the paper, it

is permissible to neglect the effect of the horizontal fluctuations of the flow. Recently obtained experimental results are quoted

which tend to confirm this result.

procedures for seasonal performance of heat pumps, ASHRAE

J., pp. 40-44 (Sept. 1979).

Key words: heat pumps; part-load evaluation; standards for heat pumps; testing procedures for heat pumps.

Current testing and rating procedures for heat pumps have

served industry and the consumer well for many years. These

steady-state (SS) full-load evaluation procedures allow for the capacity determination needed for sizing the unit to the build- ing loads. They also serve as an efficiency evaluation for comparing the relative merits of various units. However, with the need for energy conservation, and with increasing energy costs, buildings and their equipment have come to require a life- cycle-cost analysis instead of the traditional first-cost approach.

In order to provide a better estimate of operational costs, the heat pump industry needs a more comprehensive evaluation

technique to obtain data during part-load, cyclic operation.

Although the wide variety of types of heat-pump installations and climates makes field performance impractical as a basis for

this cost analysis, laboratory part-load simulation can increase

the input for a reasonable testing investment.

members and the BSS staff, coupled with financial support

from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),

resulted in the development of a performance test which ap- proximates the conditions that are likely to occur on bathtub

or shower base surfaces, is reliable and repeatable, and dis- criminates adequately between currently available bathtub and

shower base materials.

to measure the air infiltration rate, and infrared thermography.

Each of these systems played a role in assessing the actual usage of energy in individual buildings, in identifying the fac- tors that determine energy consumption, and in checking the accuracy of theoretical models for predicting the energy per- formance of dwellings.

of the NBS procedure. A test facility for water-heating collectors has been built at NBS in accordance with this Standard.

The purpose of this paper is to briefly explain the recently

adopted test procedure, describe the NBS test facility, and to give typical test results for collectors commercially available in the United States.

retailing; retail facilities.

An exploratory study was conducted to determine whether

alterations in sun and shade patterns (which may result from

certain passive solar retrofit designs) influence windowshopping and other behaviors on retail streets. Pedestrians were

observed at two urban locations. The hypothesis that in cool weather pedestrians prefer the sunny (rather than shady) side of retail streets was partially supported by the data. The

hypothesis that durations of window-shopping and other rele- vant behaviors would be greater on the sunny side was not sup- ported.

Key words: energy field measurements; hot water heaters; hot water usage; residential water use.

The results of a field experiment for assessing the per- formance of gas and electric residential storage water heaters

are presented. Energy requirements for hot water supply, hot water consumption and usage pattern data are presented and

analyzed using statistical techniques in order to obtain average

load curves and variations from the average. The effects of various retrofit measures such as wrapping the water heater with additional insulation and reducing the hot water temperature are assessed under actual usage conditions.

Key words: alkalies; cement; history; standards. The evolution of ASTM standards relating to alkalies, specifically sodium and potassium, in portland and blended hydraulic

cements is described. The standards include analytical methods

for the determination of alkalies in cements, optional specifica- tion limits for alkalies in portland cements for use with ag- gregates that may be deleteriously reactive, and tests for potential alkali reactivity of aggregates. Some shortcomings of the standards are mentioned, and, where they do not treat portland

out. Finally, changes which might be made in the standards to make them responsive to national needs for conservation of energy and materials are suggested.

Design solutions which enhance daylighting may enhance or

detract from a window's performance of other functions. Five energy control functions and five non-energy functions of windows are defined. The inherent conflicts and synergies between

daylighting and other window functions are examined. Various

design or hardware solutions to minimize conflict and/or im- prove overall performance arc discussed. Daylighting solutions need not compromise other window functions, given the multitude of design or hardware options available today.

Key words: bridges; buildings; design criteria; gluedlaminatcd timber; safety; temporary structures; wood.

If temporary structures having lives of 2-5 years are designed

using criteria for permanent structures with lives of 50-75

years, overly conservative designs can result. This paper

presents a systematic, rational basis for developing criteria for glued-iaminated timber temporary bridges and buildings.

Second moment reliability theory, which requires estimates of

the mean and coefficient of variation of resistance and load, is used to compute measures of safety, called safety index values. These index values are computed for permanent and temporary

structural elements. Allowable stresses for temporary structures

are determined by choosing corresponding safety index values which will provide adequate safety relative to the safety of per- manent structures, while reflecting the temporary nature of the

structures. Examples of how allowable flexural stresses are developed for bridges and buildings are given.

Key words: buildings; conservation; criteria; design;

economics; efficiency; energy; energy budget; equity; life- cycle cost; optimal; standard.

Energy-conservation standards for new buildings will play a major role in federal and state conservation policies in the coming decade. This article discusses economic-efficiency considerations that can be incorporated into the selection and

development of such standards. Three types of energy

budgets— fixed energy budgets, partially variable energy

budgets, and economically efficient energy budgets

(EEEB)—are examined for use as standards. Economic-efficiency criteria are presented for use in selecting an appropriate energy budget. An illustrative example shows the potential dollar losses in life-cycle terms from failing to apply an EEEB.

Research and operational requirements for developing and implementing an energy budget are described. Three energy- budget standards are evaluated in terms of economic efficiency,

administrative feasibility, equity, and consistency in design

requirements. An EEEB appears optimal in that it ranks highest

overall with respect to the four criteria. Failure to begin

research for, and development of, EEEBs now would impose

unnecessary social costs in the form of extra expenses to achieve any chosen target levels of energy conservation in buildings.

Key words: construction; cost effectiveness; hazard; injuries; loss prevention; risk; safety.

In the construction industry, the rate of work-related injuries

and deaths is two or more times the national rate for all industries. This paper develops a rational method which quantitatively rates construction risks, using risk scores. The scores, which

are computed for each workmen's compensation classification, are based on insurance premiums and injury cause-cost analysis. In addition the method numerically ranks the relative cost

effectiveness of corrective actions which are taken to reduce

risks. The cost effectiveness ranking is determined from the risk score, the cost and the degree of effectiveness of the corrective

action. Use of the method can improve the efficiency of

evaluating risks and allocating resources to minimize the risks. The method presented is considered only a first step. The uses.

limitations, and further development of the method are presented.

buildings. Several sets of sample calculations were performed to compare the results of the simplified calculation with those obtained by a rigorous multiple interreflection model called GLIM

(General Lighting Interreflection Model) for a sample office module with different ratios of window to exterior wall area. The simplified daylight calculation procedure then was used

to determine the effect of daylight utilization on annual heating

and cooling energy consumption on NBSLD, National Bureau

calculation includes the reduction of light heat gain and electric power demand as a result of daylight utilization.

An economic analysis, J. Real Estate Tax. 7, No. 1, 31-49

(Fall 1979).

Key words: adaptive reuse; buildings; demolition;

economics; historic preservation; life-cycle costing;

redevelopment; rehabilitation; tax incentives.

The Tax Reform Act of 1976 contains a number of provisions which affect the financial position of owners of incomeproducing historic buildings. Prior tax law tended to penalize

historic preservation by allowing more rapid acceleration of

depreciation schedules for new buildings and by permitting

demolition costs to be deducted in the year in which they

occur. TRA provided a more favorable tax environment for

historic preservation by moving these tax penalties. The effect of the tax changes depends on the type of building (residential versus nonresidential) and on the legal form of ownership.

TRA's tax incentives for the preservation of certified historic buildings were expanded by technical corrections enacted as

part of the Revenue Act of 1978. This article analyzes the ef- fect of the historic preservation provisions of both tax acts on

the after-tax cost of two basic alternatives facing corporate owners of nonresidential historic buildings: ( 1 ) Rehabilitate the

structure; or (2) demolish it and redevelop the site.

Key words: building design; cost; energy conservation; energy standards; fenestration; life-cycle costing;

Architects, engineers, building operators and owners, and

others who make decisions about the design and use of

buildings need cost information about alternative energy conservation designs for old and new buildings. Specifically, they

need to know the cost over time from introducing energy conserving techniques as compared to the cost savings over time

from reduced energy bills. Life-cycle costing of energy conservation alternatives in buildings can be applied at the working

level to reduce the owning and operating costs of buildings, to reduce energy consumpption, and to encourage the optimal

retrofit of old and design of new buildings with respect to rising fuel costs. This article provides practicing architects, architectural students, and others interested in the design process an overview of state-of-the-art methods for estimating the life- cycle cost (LCC) of alternative energy conservation techniques

and a description of selected applications of LCC methods to energy conservation in buildings.

Retrofitting existing residential buildings for energy conservation is examined in LCC terms. The design of envelope features and subsystems for energy conservation in new buildings is ex- plored in the context of LCC analysis. Finally, energy standards

for buildings are examined in the LCC context to show why

varying climates and fuel prices must be considered in developing economically efficient standards.

1979).

Key words: building envelope; cost effectiveness; economics; energy conservation; internal rate of return;

life-cycle costing; marginal analysis; optimal design; re- sidential buildings; space cooling; space heating.

This paper assesses the cost effectiveness of selected energy

conservation investments in new single-family residences in the U.S. Alternative investment levels in the four major components of the building envelope are evaluated: (I) attics; (2)

walls; (3) floors; and (4) windows. The analysis is conducted

for five cities of widely diverse climate conditions and for the major forms of energy used for heating and cooling in the U.S. For each investment level the internal rate of return (IRR) is calculated on an incremental basis, that is, in comparison with

the next lower level of investment for that component. This

marginal IRR is used to rank alternative levels of investment

for all four components so that economically optimal envelope

designs can be selected for each city and energy type.

Key words: applied economics; building codes; building

economics; economic analysis; fire safety; health care

facilities; hospitals; life safety; mathematical programming;

nursing homes; renovation.

The identification of cost-effective levels of fire safety in health care facilities is a major concern to hospital administrators, fire safety engineers and public policy makers. The

prohibitive costs of strict compliance to the prescriptive provisions of the Life Safety Code in hospitals and nursing homes

has led to the development of an equivalency methodology, the

Fire Safety Evaluation System. The equivalency methodology

provides a means for identifying how combinations of several widely accepted fire safety systems can be used to produce a

level of safety equal to that of the prescriptive provisions of the

Life Safety Code. Three topics are described briefly in this paper. They are (1) the Fire Safety Evaluation System; (2) a computerized version of the Fire Safety Evaluation System

which permits the least-cost means of achieving compliance to

the Life Safety Code to be identified; and (3) an indication of

the cost-saving potential of the Fire Safety Evaluation System

based on a case study of a typical general hospital.

NBS TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS

PERIODICALS

JOURNAL OF RESEARCH—The Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards reports NBS research and development in those disciplines of the physical and engineering sciences in which the Bureau is active. These include physics, chemistry,

engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement

methodology and the basic technology underlying standardization. Also included from time to time are survey articles on topics

closely related to the Bureau's' technical and scientific programs.

As' a special se/vice to subscribers each issue contains complete

citations to all recent Bureau publications in both NBS and non- NBS media. Issued six times a year. Annual subscription: domestic

$17; foreign $21.25. Single copy, $3 domestic; $3.75 foreign.

NOTE; The Journal was formerly published in two sections; Section A "Physics and Chemistry" and Section B "Mathematical

Sciences."

DIMENSIONS/NBS—This monthly magazine is published to in- form scientists, engineers, business and industry leaders, teachers,

students, and consumers of the latest advances in science and

technology, with primary emphasis on work at NBS. The magazine

highlights and reviews such issues as energy research, fire protection, building technology, metric conversion, pollution abatement,

health and safety, and consumer product performance. In addition, it reports the results of Bureau programs in measurement

standards and techniques, properties of matter and materials,

engineering standards and services, instrumentation, and

automatic data processing. Annual subscription; domestic $11;

foreign $13.75.

NONPERIODICALS

Monographs—Major contributions to the technical literature on

various subjects related to the Bureau's scientific and technical activities. Handbooks—Recommended codes of engineering and industrial practice (including safety codes) developed in cooperation with in- terested industries, professional organizations, and regulatory

bodies.

Special Publications—Include proceedings of conferences sponsored by NBS, NBS annual reports, and other special publications

appropriate to this grouping such as wall charts, pocket cards, and

bibliographies.

Applied Mathematics Series—Mathematical tables, manuals, and

studies of special interest to physicists, engineers, chemists,

biologists, mathematicians, computer programmers, and others engaged in scientific and technical work.
