A Description of the Building Materials Data Base for New Haven, Connecticut.

Abstract

A building material sampling program for the New Haven, Connecticut region was conducted in March and April of 1984 to examine the types and amounts of building surface materials exposed to acid deposition. A stratified, systematic, unaligned random sampling approach was used to generate sample points across the five sampling frame areas. A minimum of 107 sample points was examined per sampling frame to yield a total sample size of 576 points. Building sizes, surface materials, roof characteristics, roof-mounted apparatus, chimneys, gutters, downspouts, fences and miscellaneous outdoor accessories were recorded. This report provides an initial summary of the data collected. Sample sizes indicate that additional sampling is required to produce the desired 70 sites (with buildings) per frame. (Author)
