HOUSING 2020
(RECAP: In Housing 2020, Housing Virginia looks at the future of housing in Virginia through four lenses – Demographics, Economics, Finance and the Greening of our Housing Stock. In each of these areas the organization worked with an expert to identify and communicate what these changes are and what we need to understand about these trends.)http://www.housingvirginia.org/housing-2020/

In this white paper, the National Council of Governments on Building Codes and Standards examines effective strategies for promoting the adoption of existing building codes, as well as developing and implementing educational and training programs.)http://www.realestaterama.com/2017/01/12/ncgbcs-white-paper-looks-at-role-of-existing-building-codes-ID039793.html
