ABSTRACT
Building Research Establishment ~ The BRE was founded as a UK
Government agency in 1921 and was known until the early 1970s as the Building Research Station.
In addition to UK Government funding, some financial support is now provided by the European Union. Additional funding is derived from a variety of sources, including commercial services for private
industry and from publications. The latter includes the BRE's wellknown regular issue of research information products, i.e. Digests,
Information Papers, Good Building Guides and Good Repair Guides.
