Excerpt from Building Technology Project Summaries 1977-1978 Individual projects at the Center may emphasize one or more of the Center's research activities in providing improved knowledge, in usable form, to the building community. Typical activities include: problem analysis to define and characterize needs for improved building practices; research to obtain vital new knowledge; technical problem solving to develop improved practices from the best available knowledge; dissemination of results to users in the building community; and impact analysis to show how well the Center's work has met the building community's needs and whether elements of the original problem remain unresolved or new problems exist. In all these activities, we work closely with other organizations in the building community that aid in the Center work or use its results.
