- The Diffusion of Innovation in the Residential Building IndustryKoebel, C. Theodore; Papadakis, Maria; Hudson, Ed; Cavell, Marilyn S. (Virginia Center for Housing Research, 2003-10)This assessment reports on a survey mailed to a national sample of residential homebuilders to assess how they receive and process housing technology information. The successful diffusion of innovations in the residential building industry has substantial social, economic, and environmental benefits to Americans. When the industry incorporates new technologies, techniques, and materials into construction practices, it is possible to improve energy efficiency, conserve natural and energy resource, increase the longevity of housing stock, and create more affordable housing. By knowing how and why innovations diffuse within the industry, it is possible to accelerate the technology adoption process though more effectively designed programs, demonstration projects, and policy incentives.

- Housing Needs and Market Analysis, Thomas Jefferson PDCCavell, Marilyn S.; Koebel, C. Theodore; Dawkins, Casey J.; Renneckar, Patricia L. (Virginia Center for Housing Research, 2006-10)The need for affordable housing in the Thomas Jefferson PDC is a consistent theme throughout this report. The strong sales market in this area is driven by higher income households and previous homeowners taking advantage of low mortgage rates to "trade up" in the market. However, for many others in the area, homeownership is out of reach. Also in this area, renting is not a more affordable alternative to ownership. Workers in occupations vital to the community have difficulty finding affordable housing in the PDC.
