ALWAYS ON
Junius “Babe” Gertz Cafe
Fortunes are often made not through glamorous enterprises but through ordinary work done exceptionally well. Junius Gertz and his brother Ray built a business around swimming pools, water filtration and the practical engineering needed to make them work. Not an uncommon pattern: commercial success eventually became philanthropy, and philanthropy became a permanent part of campus life.
Underground Electrotechnology
Today we sort the best practice literature for underground power and telecommunication systems. These codes and standards ensure safety, reliability, and compliance for underground electrical and telecommunications installations around and within campus regions. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
Wires
Safe and sustainable electrical wiring is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of buildings, and it requires careful planning, skilled installation, and ongoing maintenance to ensure performance of conducting paths. Join us today at 15:00 UTC when we examine the state of best practice literature; largely the NEMA, ASTM and NFPA standards catalogs covering power wiring. With link to our "Metals Standards" and "Raceway" coverage.
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.
NESC & NEC Cross-Code Correlation
Today at the usual hour we will review the 50-odd safety and sustainability oproposals we submitted to the IEEE and NFPA earlier this month. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
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.
2029 National Electrical Code
Today a recap of the First Draft Meetings that ended earlier this Month in Redondo Beach California.
