Building Research, 1966
Comprehensive building systems are the result of industry's search for markets, clients' desire for shorter hours and lower costs, and the growing complexity of building technology which requires the architect to depend on industry for research and development. Certain questions are raised by this trend. Will industry dominate architecture? Can…

Simmons, H. Leslie – Building Research, 1974
Architects favor metrication because it should unify the construction industry by eliminating a proliferation of sizes, mismatched uncoordinated products and procedures; and also because it should be economically feasible. (A paper presented at Building Research Institute conference, Washington, D.C., November 27, 1973.) (Author/MLF)

Deppen, Robert W. – Building Research, 1973
Discusses factors that affect energy consumption and describes a variety of heat recovery devices that can be applied to many new or existing ventilation systems. (Author/MF)
Descriptors: Building Systems, Climate Control, Design Requirements, Energy Conservation
Stein, Joseph – Building Research, 1974
Random sampling of construction executives revealed a surprising lack of awareness concerning the proposed 10-year metric conversion recommendation made by the National Bureau of Standards in 1971. Explains attitudes on the desirability of conversion to the metric system and prognoses on the impact of conversion. (A paper presented at Building…
