9780266045335: Metrication Problems in the Construction Codes and Standards Sector

Synopsis

This book illuminates the significant challenges posed to America's building codes and standards sector as part of the country's transition to the metric system. It goes on to explore the potential of coordinating dimensional standardization with this metric conversion. The author examines the challenges of identifying the conversion's most pressing concerns, along with the equally critical challenge of coordinating schedules for implementing necessary changes. Also considered is the potential impact this transition will have on building regulatory systems. Beyond these practical concerns, the author explores the possibility that this moment of change could be leveraged to enhance building codes and standards in a number of ways.
