PATH Unveils Home Building’s Top 10 Advanced Technologies - 2/9/2004 - Real Estate Products Services

PATH Unveils Home Building’s Top 10 Advanced Technologies

The top 10 new technologies that are ready to be used in the housing industry were announced by the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) at the NextGen ’04 house that was built in conjunction with last month’s International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.

 

On the edge of industry acceptance, the technologies are proven, practical, easy-to-use and quickly drawing interest as builders experience the benefits of using them, PATH said.

“The top 10 technologies hold the most promise for improving the quality and affordability of our homes,” said General Deputy Assistant Secretary Darlene F. Williams of HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research. “These technologies are ready now and they can perform in the houses that we build tomorrow.”

 
 

The “Top 10 Technologies” named by PATH are:

  • Frost Protected Shallow Foundations
  • Air Admittance Valves
  • Home Run Plumbing Systems
  • Low Impact Development
  • Engineered Panelized Systems
  • HVAC Optimization
  • Optimum Steel/Wood Combination Framing
  • Tankless Water Heaters
  • Shared Wastewater Treatment Systems
  • Pre-cast Concrete Panels

Technologies profiled by PATH are selected for their strength in one or more of the following areas: quality and durability; energy efficiency; environmental performance; safety and disaster mitigation; and affordability.
