Journal: Building Science Insight

Building Science Insight is a collection of seminar Series, by NRC, IRC

The following is copied-pasted from BSI site:

"Below you will find 10 publications arising from a series of seminars offered by the Institute for Research in Construction between 1982 and 1992. Presented in major cities in Canada on a specific topic each year, these seminars provided scientific and technical information of a practical nature for construction professionals. Although some aspects of the information are somewhat dated, particularly with regard to building codes, the publications remain largely relevant in today's context.

Building Science Insight '92 Effective and Efficient Lighting

Building Science Insight '90 Small Buildings: Technology in Transition

Building Science Insight '89 Roofs that work

Building Science Insight '88 Window Performance and New Technology

Building Science Insight '87 Designing for Fire Safety

Building Science Insight '86 An Air Barrier for the Building Envelope

Building Science Insights

A series of publications arising from a series of seminars offered by IRC: Institute for Research in Construction between 1982 and 1992. Each deals with a specific topic and provides scientific and technical information of a practical nature for construction professionals, on: Windows, roofs, walls, fire safety, noise transmission, sealants, coatings and protection systems, lighting, general.




IRC: Institute for Research in Construction

"Canada's research, building code development, and materials evaluation services, .. issues that have a large economic impact, assisting industry to innovate and develop technologies that are safe, durable and cost-effective. "
