Index to BRE Digests, Guides, Information Papers and Expert Packs

January 2009

DIGESTS Digests are authoritative summaries of the state of the art on specific topics in construction design and technology. They draw on BRE’s expertise in these areas and provide essential support for all involved in design, specification, construction and maintenance. Digests are presented in an easy-to-read format supported by photographs and detailed diagrams. A small number of Special Digests cover particular topics in more depth.

INFORMATION PAPERS Information Papers summarise recent BRE research findings, and give advice on how to apply this information in practice.

GOOD BUILDING GUIDES Good Building Guides give construction professionals concise guidance on the principles and practicalities for achieving good-quality building. These highly illustrated practical guides draw on BRE experience and research, and other sources, to provide clear technical advice and solutions.

GOOD REPAIR GUIDES Good Repair Guides deal with the defects most commonly encountered in buildings and offer sound advice on putting them right. They are highly illustrated to make the problems and solutions easy to identify and understand.

This leaflet provides a classified subject index to BRE Digests, Good Building Guides, Good Repair Guides and Information Papers. It also includes numerical listings of titles in each series. The publications are available on subscription through BRE Connect and BRE Connect Online and individual copies can be ordered from IHS BRE Press, Willoughby Road, Bracknell, RG12 8FB, 01344 328038, [email protected], or online at www.ihsbrepress.com. Subscribers to BRE Connect Online receive all new leaflets published month each in pdf format, and have access to the complete catalogue of BRE reports and guides, and many other discounts and benefits.
