National Institute of Building Sciences logo

The National Institute of Building Sciences is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that identifies and resolves problems and potential issues in the built environment throughout the United States.[1] Its creation was authorized by the U.S. Congress in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.

Board of directors

The Institute is governed by a board of directors which consists of 21 members. All members serve for terms of three years, with a third of the board up for new terms each year. The President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints six members to represent the public interest. The remaining 15 members are elected from the nation's construction industry, including representatives of construction labor organizations, product manufacturers, and builders, housing management experts, and experts in building standards, codes, and fire safety, as well as public interest representatives including architects, professional engineers, officials of Federal, State, and local agencies, and representatives of consumer organizations. The board shall always have a majority of public interest representatives.[2][3]

After the expiration of the term of any member, they may continue to serve until their successor has been elected or has been appointed and confirmed.[3]

The board annually elects from among its members a chairman. It shall also elect one or more vice chairmen. The terms are for one year and no one can serve as chairman or vice chairman for more than two consecutive terms.[3]

Among the board's duties is to appoint a president and CEO, and other executive officers and as they see fit.[3] As of September 12, 2024, George K. Guszcza is the President and CEO of the NIBS.[4]

Unit hyperbola

Geometric figure The unit hyperbola is blue, its conjugate is green, and the asymptotes are red. In geometry, the unit hyperbola is the set of points (x,y) in the Cartesian plane that satisfy the implicit equation x 2 − y 2 = 1. {\displaystyle x^{2}-y^{2}=1.} In the study of indefinite orthogonal groups, the unit hyperbola forms the basis for an alternative radial length r = x 2 − y 2 . {\displaystyle r={\sqrt {x^{2}-y^{2}}}.} Whereas the unit circle surrounds its center, the un...
