"Most government research done on behalf of the home building industry is geared toward removing barriers to the implementation of better, more efficient, and more affordable building technologies. This is work for the ‘common good’ that would otherwise not be funded readily by private industry. To this end, Home Innovation Labs has been invaluable in creating prescriptive guidelines for OVE and cold-formed steel framing, insulating concrete forms, and structural insulated panels."
