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:
“The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practised, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good.... God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself.”
—Pierre Charron (1541–1603)
