Rehab Guide

"The housing design and construction industry has made great progress in recent years through the development of new innovative techniques, materials technologies, and products. But these breakthroughs are valuable only if they are widely adopted. The Rehab Guide series was developed as part of the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) mandate to inform the design and construction industry about state-of-the-art materials and innovative practices in housing rehabilitation. The series focuses on building technologies, materials, components, and techniques rather than projects such as adding a new room. The nine volumes cover a distinct element of housing rehabilitation and feature breakthrough materials, labor-saving tools, and cost-cutting practices.

All volumes include detailed illustrations and graphics to supplement written descriptions. Easy-to-read chapters organize information into four sections. "Essential Knowledge" provides an overview of important issues related to that section, whereas "Techniques, Materials, Tools" explains approaches to accomplishing the work. "Further Reading" lists valuable resources, and "Product Information" provides the names and addresses of the manufacturers of the products, materials, systems, and components mentioned in the text. An appendix with professional associations and research centers is included in each volume.
