WASHINGTON, DC — The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have revised and updated two building industry publications, one on the inspection of older residential buildings, and the second on fire ratings of older building materials and assemblies.
“Residential Rehabilitation Inspection Guide,” the first publication, provides step-by-step technical information for evaluating a residential building’s site, exterior, interior, structural, electrical, plumbing, and hvac systems.
