| Abstract: |
| President Clinton recognizes that research and technological innovation are crucial if America is to meet its affordable housing needs. In 1998, the President introduced a major new initiative: The Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH). This initiative brings together leaders from the home building, product manufacturing, insurance, and financial industries, as well as representatives from federal agencies, to spur housing design and construction innovations. Thanks to the development of new machinery and materials and the creation of new technologies and techniques, the construction industry has made great progress. But a breakthrough material, a laborsaving tool, or a cost-cutting technique is only valuable if it is widely adopted, which means the construction industry must first become aware of these new developments. The Department of Housing and Urban Development can help. We have commissioned a set of guidebooks that will present state-of-the-art techniques, materials, and technologies for housing rehabilitation. This volume, Exterior Walls, is the second of nine guidebooks¡ªknown collectively as The Rehab Guide¡ªthat will appear over the next few years. We are presenting these guidebooks because, like research and technological innovation, housing rehabilitation is an essential component of America's commitment to provide affordable housing. I am pleased to present this important publication in the hope that it will become a valuable resource that leads to affordable, high quality rehabilitation, and thus to better housing for all Americans. Andrew Cuomo, Secretary U.S. Department of Ho using and Urban Development
