This pie took "grand champion" in the recipe contest at the North Carolina Apple Festival and is a favorite in university food services -- "We feed the pack". It overflows with 4 pounds of native apples, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Curated list of federal legislative actions affecting United States educational settlements.
Today we break down public consultations on energy-related titles relevant to instructional and business enterprises in education communities. Time spent with us today offers anticipatory intelligence about technical specifics that should be conveyed into design guidelines, construction contracts and best operation and maintenance practice.
Catalyzed by the University of Michigan Business Operations, the 2014 NEC was revised to permit "rightsized" lighting supply circuits; saving 10's of millions of dollars annually for the education industry and others. Doing the same for feeders and branch circuits meets resistance from the vertical incumbents described in our ABOUT. Public consultation on the 2026 NEC closes 28 August 2024.
The International Energy Conservation Code sets out minimum efficiency standards for new construction for a structure’s walls, floors, ceilings, lighting, windows, doors, duct leakage and air leakage.
Educational settlements are the closest many people come to feel at home in beautiful surroundings. The catalog that informs the safety and sustainability of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day. By design titles are unstable, time-sensitive and copyright protected. We explore the action continuously; assign priorities, then schedule a separate teleconference to formulate responses to public consultations. Daily colloquia topics appear on our CALENDAR.
To paraphrase Marc Andreessen: "Building standards are eating the world and ASHRAE is eating standards." Just when you thought ASHRAE's claim to energy regulation could not get any larger, it has recently appropriated everything *between* buildings in its scope. At least two energy/building enclosure related redlines are open for consultation through May 27th.
This title sets the standard of care for construction, operation and maintenance of power and telecommunication infrastructure on the supply side of the point of common coupling. It is the first title to reach for when disasters happen; with most public utilities bound to its best practice assertions by statute. Proposals for changes to appear in 2028 Edition will be received until 15 May 2024.
Link to the April 25th Open Meeting. Previous discussions linked here center on supply, transmission and distribution reliability. Our interest lies in closing a technical gap that exists upstream from the building service point and downstream from the utility supply point. Some, not all of it, can be accomplished with titles in the IEEE catalog. Given the strength of vertical incumbents in the electric power domain, it is time to expand reliability concepts into the ASHRAE, NFPA and ICC catalogs
