The Bureau's overall goal is to strengthen and advance the Nation's science and technology and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Bureau conducts research and provides: (I) a basis for the Nation's physical measurement system, (2) scientific and technological services for industry and government, (3) a technical basis for equity in trade, and (4) technical services to promote public safety. The Bureau's technical work is per- formed by the National Measurement Laboratory, the National Engineering Laboratory, and the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology. THE NATIONAL MEASUREMENT LABORATORY provides the national system of physical and chemical and materials measurement; coordinates the system with measurement systems of other nations and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical and chemical measurement throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce; conducts materials research leading to improved methods of measurement, standards, and data on the properties of materials needed by industry, commerce, educational institutions, and Government; provides advisory and research services to other Government agencies; develops, produces, and distributes Standard Reference Materials; and provides calibration services. The Laboratory consists of the following centers: Absolute Physical Quantities^ — Radiation Research — Chemical Physics — Analytical Chemistry — Materials Science THE NATIONAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY provides technology and technical ser- vices to the public and private sectors to address national needs and to solve national problems; conducts research in engineering and applied science in support of these efforts; builds and maintains competence in the necessary disciplines required to carry out this research and technical service; develops engineering data and measurement capabilities; provides engineering measurement traceability services; develops test methods and proposes engineering standards and code changes; develops and proposes new engineering practices; and develops and improves mechanisms to transfer results of its research to the ultimate user. The Laboratory consists of the following centers: Applied Mathematics — Electronics and Electrical Engineering^ — Manufacturing Engineering — Building Technology — Fire Research — Chemical Engineering^ THE INSTITUTE FOR COMPUTER SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY conducts research and provides scientific and technical services to aid Federal agencies in the selection, acquisition, application, and use of computer technology to improve effectiveness and economy in Government operations in accordance with Public Law 89-306 (40 U.S.C. 759), relevant Executive Orders, and other directives; carries out this mission by managing the Federal Information Processing Standards Program, developing Federal ADP standards guidelines, and managing Federal participation in ADP voluntary standardization activities; provides scientific and technological advisory services and assistance to Federal agencies; and provides the technical foundation for computer-related policies of the Federal Government. The Institute consists of the following centers: Programming Science and Technology — Computer Systems Engineering. 'Headquarters and Laboratories at Gaithersburg, MD, unless otherwise noted; mailing address Washington, DC 20234. ^Some divisions within the center are located at Boulder, CO 80303.

Bur. Stand. (U.S.) Spec. Publ. 457-7,78 pages (June 1983) CODEN: XNBSAV U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE Washington: 1983 INTRODUCTION This report presents the National Bureau of Standards' Center for Building Technology (CBT) publications for 1982. It is the seventh supplement to NBS Special Publication 457, Building Technology Publications 1965-1975, and lists CBT documents issued or recorded during the period January 1 to December 31, 1982. It includes titles and abstracts of each NBS publication and each paper published in non-NBS media, key word and author indexes, and general information and instructions on how to order CBT publications. This report communicates the results of CBT research to various technical audiences, as well as to the general public. Publications constitute a major end product to CBT's efforts and, in 1982, appeared in several NBS publication series (Building Science Series, Technical Notes, Special Publications, NBS Interagency Reports, Grant/Contract Reports and the Journal of Research) as well as in non-NBS media such as technical and trade pubUcations. Publications appearing in non-NBS media have each been assigned a five-digit number. NBS publication series abbreviations are: BSS - Building Science Series TN - Technical Note SP - Special Publication J. Res. - Journal of Research NBSIR - National Bureau of Standards Interagency Report GCR - Grant/Contract Report This document is divided into three main sections. The first, Titles and Abstracts, provides the report title, author(s), date of publication, selected key words, and an abstract of each NBS publication and each paper published in an outside source. The Author Index cites each CBT author and gives the publication title and/or number referencing documents listed in this supplement. The Key Word Index is a subject index, listing word summaries of the building research topics for each publication and paper. By selecting a main word or subject, which are listed alphabetically, the user is able to locate reports of interest through the subject-related words found in the key word index. CBT is part of the National Engineering Laboratory, National Bureau of Standards. NBS undertakes research in various areas. Interested readers will find other NBS publications listed in NBS Special Publication 305-14, Publications of the National Bureau of Standards 1982, from which parts of this report have been taken. OBTAINING PUBLICATIONS Most current CBT publications (excluding NBS Interagency Reports and Grant/Contract Reports) are available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Microfiche and paper copies of most CBT publications may be ordered through the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, Springfield, VA 22161. Two other sources are depository libraries (libraries designated to receive Government publications) and Department of Commerce District Offices. The current price list and availability of publications listed in this report are given in Appendix C. The depository libraries listed in Appendix A receive selected publication series of the National Bureau of Standards for general reference use. While every Government publication cannot be sent to all depository libraries, certain designated Regional libraries are required to receive and retain one copy of all Government publications made available either in printed or microfiche form. To obtain information on which publications are available, please contact the depository library in your area. Department of Commerce District Offices are maintained in the cities listed in Appendix B. Their purpose is to provide ready access at the local level to publications, statistical statements, and surveys.
