ALWAYS ON
Data Center Bust, Boom, Bust, Boom….
Where is Standards Michigan LLC in this conversation? We have followed development of the stack that governs these "installations" since 1993; nudging technical committees -- NFPA, IEEE, ASHRAE, BICSI, Uptime Institute, TIOA, UL among others. The frontier improvises daily. Today we review relevant, open public consultations even though we know, at present pace, there are no stable standards and probably shouldn't be.
Quadrivium: Autumn
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC.
Bulletin Board
Curated list of open consultations and calls for information from state, federal and global agencies.
Current Issues & Recent Research
We are tooling up for the NFPA 2029 National Electrical Code Technical Committee Meetings in September and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society Meetings in October.
The Halloween Problem
The Halloween Problem refers to a phenomenon in databases in which an update operation causes a change in the physical location of a row, potentially allowing the row to be visited again later in the same update operation. Named after an October 31 discovery, it’s fixed by separating read and write phases using temporary tables or snapshots, ensuring each row is touched exactly once

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. We do for others and the world remaining is immortal." -- Albert Pine
Refrigeration Systems: Cadaver Preservation
Gross anatomy laboratories are commonly maintained at temperatures between 55°F and 65°F, balancing specimen preservation with the comfort and safety of those working in the laboratory. Refrigeration systems serving specialized facilities are governed by safety requirements such as ASHRAE Standard 15-2024, provisions of which are widely incorporated by reference into public safety law.
Health 400 | OB-GYN
Today we break down the stack of regulations, codes, standards and open-source literature governing the safety and sustainability of university-affiliated medical research and healthcare delivery facilities. We limit our interest to systems -- water, power, telecommunication and security; for example -- that are unique to campus-configured, city-within-city risk aggregations.
