NHBC Foundation
The NHBC Foundation was established in 2006 as a partnership between NHBC and the Building Research Establishment (BRE Trust). Its purpose is to deliver high-quality research and practical guidance reports for the construction industry on topics where there is a recognised knowledge gap.
The main areas of its work are:
Zero carbon – to help the house-building industry in its transition towards the 2016 zero carbon target
Consumer interests - research targeted towards protecting the interest of homeowners, landlords and tenants
Risk management – aiming to minimise risks arising from changes to housing construction, technology and practice.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence. As a right over a man’s subsistence is a power over his moral being, so a right over a woman’s subsistence enslaves her will, degrades her pride and vitiates her whole moral nature.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1907)
