Building Technology Project Summaries 1982-1983
The Center for Building Technology specialized laboratory facilities and equipment located at Gaithersburg, Maryland, have a replacement value estimated at $20 million. Among the variety of special facilities and equipment are the universal testing machine with a 12-million-pound capacity; a reaction wall for subjecting full-scale building systems to earthquake loading; seven environmental chambers, including a 30 x 40 x 60 ft chamber, for evaluating the thermal performance of buildings and components; a line heat source guarded hot-plate to characterize insulation to 12 inches thick; a calibrated hot-box test facility; a five-story plumbing research laboratory; reverberation and anechoic chambers; lighting research facilities; mobile laboratories; an outdoor solar-collector test-method development area, including a passive solar test house; a network of outdoor exposure sites; a scanning electron microscope and other instruments for material characterization; facilities for experiments on solar heating and cooling systems; and controls and equipment laboratories. This report summarizes CBT's research for 1982-1983.
