Mitchell Hall
More than 4,000 cadets gather for lunch inside Mitchell Hall at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 10, 2009. A staff of 200 food service professionals prepare nearly 13,000 meals per day for cadets throughout the academic year. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ann Patton)
“What Wondrous Love”
The authorship of the hymn “What Wondrous Love Is This?” is unknown, and it is believed to be a traditional American folk hymn that emerged in the early 19th century. The hymn is sometimes attributed to American composer and music educator William Walker, who included it in his songbook “Southern Harmony” in 1835. It has become a beloved hymn in many Christian traditions, particularly during the season of Lent and Holy Week, as it helps worshippers reflect on the depth and meaning of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice.

ABSTRACT. The present study focuses on the effect on power consumption and analysis of the amount of regenerative power that could be generated after the regenerative drives of elevators have been installed. The elevator regenerative drives transform gravitational potential energy into electrical energy by utilizing elevators’ operation characteristics and weight difference between carriage and counterweights. The regenerative power is then fed back into electrical grid of a building and afford other electrical equipment to achieve energy saving. This paper investigates the operating principle of elevators, describe the mechanism of regenerating power, distinguish the terminologies of the power saving rate and the regenerative energy ratio, and finally use a power analyzer to monitor the experimental data of an elevator before and after installing a regenerative power drive.

Stairway Lighting
Designing illumination for vertical ingress and egress paths requires reconciliation of competing requirements of safety economy:
Consistent and Adequate Lighting: Shadows and dark spots should be minimized to prevent trips and falls.
Light Direction and Glare: Light fixtures should be positioned to avoid creating excessive contrast between steps.
Staircase Configuration: Staircases come in various shapes, sizes, and configurations, such as straight, curved, or spiral.
Light Distribution: Lighting should adequately cover the entire stair tread and riser area to provide clear visibility and depth perception.
Energy Efficiency: Specifying energy-efficient light sources such as light emitting diodes and lighting controls such as motion sensors or timers.
Maintenance and Durability: Scaffolding safety should be a peak consideration.
Some of the foregoing challenges can be resolved with the use of handrail illumination but are accompanied by additional electrical wiring requirements.

The parent standard in the United States for designing and building facilities for accessibility is ANSI/A117.1 Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities developed by the International Code Council. During 2023 this title will be revised but until then he 2017 release is the stabilized edition:
FREE ACCESS (ICC DIGITAL CODE PLATFORM)
Many A117.1 concepts require coordination with the International Building Code. We provide an example regarding stairway illumination below:
BCAC General 5 – IBC A117.1 Coordination 11-20-1027 File 16-124
We walked through this earlier in 2020. It is noteworthy because the proposed safety concepts will likely require harmonization with NFPA and IEEE standards bibliography. Committees usually take it upon themselves to get that right but getting it right means all committees need to work bi-directionally; action that is limited by time resources of volunteers.
Technical specifics in meeting the US Department of Justice requirements for accessibility is close coupled with A117 since it is incorporated by reference into federal law. 2021/2022 Code Development Cycle has been completed and another cycle has begun:
