Six Week Priority
For the entirety of March, and until April 9th, we focus on preparing response to proposed changes to the IEEE 2028 National Electrical Safety Code, and to prepare fresh new ideas for the 2029 NFPA National Electrical Code (where we have had tenure on technical committees since 1999 on behalf of the second largest building construction market in the United States).
Content normally scheduled for this time of year (which traditionally tracks the cultural calendar of educational settlements everywhere) will be accessible but our daily online meetings will start with work on those two standards.

The National Electrical Safety Code is normally revised on a 5-year cycle to incorporate industry and technological changes while ensuring safety for utility workers and the public.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted this schedule by delaying meetings, subcommittee reviews, public input processes, and collaboration due to lockdowns, remote work challenges, and resource strains.
As a result, the typical cycle extended to six years for the 2023 edition (from the 2017 edition), which was published in August 2022 and became effective February 1, 2023.
This adjustment allowed necessary time to complete revisions safely and thoroughly amid pandemic constraints.

The Best Breakdown of America You’ve Never Heard: Richard Miniter
In Federalist No. 2, John Jay [1764 Graduate of King’s College; now Columbia University] argues that a strong union under the Constitution will promote peace and prosperity, which are conducive to the spread of religion and morality:
“Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people—a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs… These considerations, and many others that might be mentioned, prove, and experience confirms it, that artificial distinctions and separations of [America’s] land are essentially unnatural; and that they may be eradicated and extirpated by the united and advisable efforts of individuals and communities…”
The Federalist Papers discuss themes of morality, social order, and the importance of a cohesive society, they do not explicitly emphasize the importance of Christian faith to the American constitutional republic. The authors generally focused on principles of governance, political theory, and the structure of the proposed Constitution.
“The experience of the sacred is a universal phenomenon,
found in all human societies, however primitive or complex.”
— 1957 Mircea Eliade (‘The Sacred and the Profane’)
Harvard’s Memorial Chapel, also known as Memorial Church, was designed by the architectural firm Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch, and Abbott. The church was dedicated on Armistice Day, November 11, 1932, as a memorial to Harvard alumni who died in World War I.

The central element in any educational space is the writing board; sometimes a “blackboard”, “chalkboard” or a “dry-erase board” — all used for teaching. During today’s session we survey the product and the installation standards with special attention to optics, illumination, mounting heights and distances.
EN 14434: Writing boards for educational institutions. The primary European standard specifically for school whiteboards and chalkboards. Covers safety requirements (no sharp edges, stable frames, non-toxic surfaces), magnetic performance, writability/erasure, durability, fire resistance, and hygiene (easy-to-clean surfaces).
§
ASTM F2957-13 (2021): Standard Specification for Whiteboards. American standard for dry-erase whiteboards. Defines requirements for surface gloss, erasability, stain resistance, scratch resistance, and color fastness.
§
Some state level procurement and installation standards — Kansas and Connecticut, for example — are de facto standards for visibility, accessibility and mounting hardware.

Happening Now: Groups A&B Public Comment Hearings
2024 / 2025 / 2026 Code Development | Calendar
The hearings officially run from April 19–24 (or up to April 28 in some references), with daily sessions typically from morning into the evening. This is part of the 2024–2026 code development cycle for the 2027 editions of the International Codes (I-Codes). Stakeholders discuss and testify on public comments submitted for proposed changes to building, residential, mechanical, plumbing, fire, energy, and related codes. It is the first combined Public Comment Hearing under ICC’s updated process.

The International Code Council (ICC) Group B Committee Action Hearings — soon to take place in Albuquerque New Mexico, April 28 through May 8 — signals the beginning of a new (every three year) revision cycle for its Group B suite of consensus products detailed in the link below:
ICC Group B Code Development Schedule
The Group B suite now under consideration is listed below: .
- International Energy Conservation Code
- International Building Code – Structural Only
- International Existing Building Code
- International Green Construction Code
- International Residential Code
We have covered noteworthy concepts in all of the foregoing codes and standards in previous posts and during our daily and monthly coverage of commenting opportunities the ICC makes available to its stakeholders. Today we are simply providing a link to the webcast of the hearings that will take place for the better part of 10 days for about 10 hours per day. The webcasts proceed on two tracks and may be accessing by clicking on the image below:
USE TRACK 2
The agenda of the hearings generally proceeds according to the core document for this phase of the Group B consensus product development; linked below:
2019 GROUP B PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE I-CODES ALBUQUERQUE COMMITTEE ACTION HEARINGS
We encourage education industry facility managers (especially those with operations and maintenance data) to participate in the ICC code development process. The business models of education industry trade associations as “opinion aggregators” is limited by many factors so we encourage direct participation by workpoint experts involved with individual school districts, colleges, universities, university-affiliated healthcare systems and trade schools.

Kahn Health Care Pavilion
Our tenure in the 2026 National Electrical Code will result in at least a 10 percent reduction in the cost of building premise wiring — (mostly in the feeder power chain) — in healthcare facilities; based on the results of last month’s meeting of Code Making Panel 15.
Assuming electrical power infrastructure is 15 percent of in a $920 million facility like this (excluding interior moveable fixtures), that would have meant an approximate $14 million reduction in cost. That cost savings cannot be realized because it was designed to an earlier version of the National Electrical Code.
