INDEX TO BRE DIGESTS, GUIDES
and INFORMATION PAPERS
January 2013
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.
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.
GOOD REPAIR GUIDES
Good Repair Guides deal with the defects most commonly
encountered in buildings and offer sound advice on putting them right.
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, brepress@ihs.com,
or online at www.brebookshop.com.
Subscribers to BRE Connect Online receive all new leaflets published each month in pdf format, and have
access to the complete catalogue of BRE reports and guides, and many other discounts and benefits.
