PATH Technology Inventory
Because of the huge number of housing technologies and the diversity of the homebuilding industry, even the best technologies do not always make a big splash when they enter the market.
PATH's Technology Inventory lists over 160 new technologies -- from advanced framing techniques to white LED lighting -- that demonstrate great potential for improving housing performance, but have not been widely accepted. The inventory focuses on a wide range of technologies, from new materials, components and systems to complete houses. PATH picks technologies from this list for use in its Field Evaluations and Site Demonstrations.
If you know what you're looking for, just scroll down on this page and click on the appropriate category. Or, take a look at the entire list of PATH technologies, indexed in alphabetical order.
