Building Value into Housing: 1980 Awards. A Compendium of Winning Submissions under HUD's 1980 'Building Value into Housing Program'
This handbook illustrates the 19 HUD grants to individuals and organizations under the 1980 Building Value into Housing Program. The goal of the program was to foster the use of innovative design and construction techniques and materials that would lead to marketable houses with reduced construction costs, low maintenance, and energy-conserving ideas. These items are generally categorized as items of 'value engineering', or the concept of increasing quality without increasing cost or decreasing cost without decreasing quality. The handbook contains designs submitted by 17 of the grant awardees and includes plans for an earth-sheltered, two-family dwelling with passive solar design features, a superinsulated arctic bungalow, a house constructed of modular building components for the southwest's arid climate, and a house that combines post and beam construction and manufactured roof and wall panels with passive solar techniques for semiarid climates.
