Excerpt from Research and Innovation in the Building Regulatory Process: Proceedings of the Third Annual Nbs/Ncsbcs Joint Conference, Held in Annapolis, Maryland on September 12, 1978, in Conjunction With the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards, Inc. (Ncsbcs)

This event marked the third time that ncsbcs and nbs have worked together to provide a forum within the building community for the exchange of research findings and to report on innovative practices among regulatory agencies. The first such conference was conducted in 1976 in Providence, Rhode Island, and was reported on in nbs Special Publication The following year, the research conference was held in Bozeman, Montana. Nbs Special Publication 5182/ contains the papers presented at that session. The success of these first two conferences provided the background for an annual event of this type. This annual conference is intended to inform and assist decision - makers in the regulatory area by reporting on building regulatory developments that advance or retard technological change. This is necessary because regulatory policy is too often made and enforced without the benefit of objective knowledge on the impacts of those policies on the building community and whether those policies are in fact achieving the desired effect.
