Building technology developers: plan before you leap.
Regulatory activities can have a big impact on new building technology research, development, and deployment, but building technology developers are not always aware of them. Without this information, developers may devote considerable resources to R&D, only to discover too late that the technology does not meet building regulations and therefore must be tested, retested, or redesigned. This publication discusses the importance of considering building codes and regulations when implementing a new building technology. The first section highlights the benefits of researching building codes and standards before creating products. The second section provides an overview of building regulations, standards, and model building codes. The third section discusses activities to develop and implement a successful technology acceptance plan that accounts for building standards and codes throughout the planning process. |
