Building and Fire Research Laboratory Activities, Accomplishments, and Recognitions, 2003
This is the biennial report for 2002-2003 for the Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. It describes the goals, programs, recent accomplishments, and recognitions for our staff over these two years. Following the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, the U.S. Congress authorized NIST to conduct a two-year investigation to determine the technical reasons for the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings and look at other technical issues related to fire protection, occupant behavior, evacuation, and emergency response. As a result, BFRL has established a new goal for our Laboratory on Homeland Security.
