Powell, David C. Tilotta, Karen L. MartinsonMadison, WI :U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory,[2008]30 pages digital, PDF fileGeneral technical report FPL ;GTR-176Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 29, 2008)."April 2008."Improvements to housing will require both research and the transfer of that research to homebuilders, homebuyers, and others in need of technology. This report summarizes results of a national survey on research and technology transfer needs for housing and prioritizes those needs. Survey participants included academicians, builders, code officials, government officials, homeowners, manufacturers, and others. In addition to determining overall priorities, research and technology transfer needs are also categorized into important priority areas for housing: construction, design, disaster, durability, environmental factors, fasteners and adhesives, inspection, materials, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation, and other areas. Analysis of the needs for housing research and technology demonstrates great interest in, and high priority for, moisture and mold issues, wood preservation and related fastening technology, and development of standardized inspection and installation procedures for materials and products. Priorities identified in this study will be used by the Forest Products Laboratory for developing a national program for housing research and development.Wooden-frame housesTechnological innovationsPublic opinionWooden-frame housesResearchPublic opinionTechnology transferPublic opinionWooden-frame housesTechnological innovationsPublic opinion.Wooden-frame housesResearchPublic opinion.Technology transferPublic opinion.Powell Kevin L1422983Tilotta David C1422984Martinson Karen L1398658Forest Products Laboratory (U.S.)GPOGPOGPOBOOK9910697321303321Assessment of research and technology transfer needs for wood-frame housing3548998UNINA
