National Construction Goals
July 1996, 28 pages
The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) convened a workshop of representatives of the building community to address the National Construction Goals as they relate to planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining commercial and institutional facilities.
The workshop was held in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, July 16, 1996, at the headquarters of the American Institute of Architects. The purpose of the workshop was to identify actions required to achieve the goals and to in turn identify who should be responsible.

The Goals were developed by the Council's Subcommittee on Construction and Building, involving 16 federal agencies.
