Building and Fire Research Laboratory: Activities, Accomplishments and Recognitions 2000-2001
The goal of the Building and Fire Research Laboratory is to meet the measurement and standards needs of the building and fire safety communities. To meet the needs of these communities BFRL is focusing on four goals. (1) Advanced Construction Technology: to enable technology based innovation to modernize and assure safety of construction. The strategy to meet this goal includes process innovation addressing construction integration and automation, and product innovation addressing construction systems and safety. (2) High Performance Building Materials: to provide the means for evaluating and predicting the performance of next generation building materials. The strategy to meet this goal is to develop and apply metrics for service life and performance prediction and establish science-based tests and data resources. (3) Enhanced Building Performance: to provide the means to assure buildings work (better) throughout their useful lives. The strategyfor meeting this goal is to provide knowledge, measurements and tools to optimize building life cycle performance. (4) Fire Loss Reduction: to enable engineered fire safety for people, products, facilities and enhanced firefighter effectiveness. The strategy to meet this goal is to reduce the risk of flashover in buildings, to advance fire safety technologies, to make advanced measurements and develop predictive methods.
