Proposal for Continuing Partial Support of The Federal Construction Council's Technical Program

联邦建筑理事会（FCC）成立于1953年，是一个 建筑研究委员会（BRB）的持续活动 美国国家科学院 其基本目的是提供 这些联邦机构进行技术研究的共同基础， 负责设计、建造和运营 联邦政府设施或建筑相关研究。 因为联邦通信委员会是美国唯一一个 各个自治的联邦建筑机构 定期识别和解决常见问题，它满足了 独特而重要的功能。 这笔赠款提供部分支持， 理事会。 在1988年期间，将继续开展工作， 综合计算机数据库的框架， 整个建设过程。 五个咨询项目的名称 1988年计划中的研究包括：综合数据库 发展（第六阶段）;评估对联邦机构 以建筑规范作为设计准则;改善 联邦设备的操作、维护和修理.标准 用于选择和评估加热、通风和空气- 空调（HVAC）系统的建筑物;和使用的风险 在制定设施设计标准中的评估。 NSF参与FCC提供了一个重要的输入环节， 在结构领域开展活动， 建筑和建筑研究，特别是当它涉及到 美国国家科学基金会结构和建筑系统计划。 报告 FCC活动产生的结果将充分准备 数量，以确保分发给赞助商、委员会 以及其他相关方。 根据本 NAS政策，此类报告也可向公众提供 不受任何限制。

The Federal Construction Council (FCC), established in 1953, is a continuing activity of the Building Research Board (BRB) of the National Academy of Sciences. Its fundamental purpose is to provide a common base for technical studies by those federal agencies that are responsible for the design, construction, and operation of federal government facilities or for construction-related research. Because the FCC is the only organization in the United States in which the various autonomous federal construction agencies meet regularly to identify and resolve common problems, it fulfills a unique and vital function. This grant provides partial support of the Council. During 1988, work will continue on the development of a conceptual framework for an integrated computer data base encompassing the entire construction process. The program titles of five advisory studies included in the 1988 program include: Integrated Data Base Development (Phase VI); Assessing the Impact on Federal Agencies of the Use of Building Codes as Design Criteria; Improving the Operation, Maintenance, and Repair of Federal Facilities; Criteria for Selecting and Evaluating Heating, Ventilating, and Air- conditioning (HVAC) Systems for Buildings; and the Use of Risk Appraisal in the Development of Design Criteria for Facilities. NSF involvement in the FCC provides an important link for input to the development of activities in the area of structures, construction, and building research, particularly as it relates to the NSF Structures and Building Systems Program. Reports resulting from FCC activities will be prepared in sufficient quantity to ensure distribution to the sponsors, committee members, and to other interested parties. In accordance with the NAS policy, such reports also may be made available to the public without restrictions.
