We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Building Research",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ventilation and less external noise in classrooms from
Passivent, which we summarised at the time by saying "Passivent's Aircool wall ventilators, Airstract terminals and Air Displacement Terminals are now all available in acoustically attenuated variants".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release UK electrical wholesalers and distributors list from
MTW Research: "MTW Research publish brand new 2008 database and mailing list encompassing more than 90% of UK electrical wholesalers and distributors".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Marley Eternit
- take a look at Customers seeing green with Marley Eternit
which says: "Roofing manufacturers should be giving customers more online information about environmental standards and accreditations, claims Marley Eternit".
Take a look also at the news release from Knauf Drywall, Knauf Drywall puts green jargon into context,
as well as Knauf Futurepanel lines green offices from Knauf Drywall,
and WWA to investment in trade advertising campaign from Wood Window Alliance.
