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.

With the proportion of classroom occupancies receding, those spaces that cannot be offloaded onto the internet remain — collaborative creative spaces among them.  There are nearly 4000 colleges and universities with garment industry programs; nearly 600 in the United States.  These institutions include specialized fashion schools, as well as larger universities and colleges that offer fashion programs or courses as part of broader art, design, or business degree programs.  

Today we examine the safety and sustainability of the research and collaborative occupancies that enable this industry to train the next generation.  It is a cross-cutting topic that draws from many catalogs.

  • Sustainability and social responsibility – In recent years, the fashion industry has increasingly focused on sustainability and social responsibility, with many brands and organizations taking steps to reduce their environmental footprint and improve working conditions in the supply chain.
  • Cultural exchange and globalization – The fashion industry is a global industry that allows for cultural exchange and cross-cultural understanding.
