New and innovative building products or technology can present terrific tools to build better housing in a more cost effective way. Yet these new tools can only achieve market success if they meet building codes, standards, and regulations adopted at the federal, state, and local levels. What’s more, regulations can also hinder the deployment of a new technology by requiring testing, retesting and possibly redesign.

"Getting Building Technology Accepted: Developing and Deploying New Building Technologies," a new report by the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH), explains how regulatory activities affect new building technology research, development, and deployment. The report also considers how to effectively apply regulatory information to successfully develop and deploy building technologies.

"Getting Building Technology Accepted" helps building technology developers avoid regulatory pitfalls through technology acceptance planning - the integration of parallel rather than sequential efforts to address building regulations and technology development. By using the approaches in this report, product innovators and proponents will better understand the issues associated with codes and standards and be better prepared to develop successful strategies to bring new products to the marketplace. These new products will, in turn, contribute to the development of safer, better, and more affordable housing for all Americans.

"Getting Building Technology Accepted: Developing and Deploying New Building Technologies" is available at https://www.huduser.gov/portal/publications/destech/tech_accepted.html.
