Water 400
“A flood is nature’s way of telling you
that you live in the wrong place.”
— Some guy
Water standards make up a large catalog and it will take most of 2023 to untangle the titles, the topics, proposals, rebuttals and resolutions. When you read our claim that since 1993 we have created a new academic discipline we would present the best practice literature of the world’s water standards as just one example.
During the Water 200 session we reckon with best practices inside buildings. During the Water 400 session will run through water management outside buildings, including interface with regional water management systems.
Water safety and sustainability standards have been on the Standards Michigan agenda since the early 2000’s. Some of the concepts we have tracked over the years; and contributed data, comments and proposals to technical committees, are listed below:
Water 400
- University-Municipal piping system demarcation
- Decorative fountains.
- Backflow prevention/Cross-connect systems
- Security of district energy power plant and hospital water supply
- Electrical shock protection in pools, fountains, spas and waterfront recreational docking facilities
- Rainwater catchment
- Water in extreme weather events
- Flood abatement systems
- Water Re-use
- District energy water treatment
- Greywater
- NSF International Water Standards Portfolio
- Navigating Electrical Safety Through Marina Waters
Water 200
- Legionella mitigation
- Swimming pool water quality
- Fire protection sprinkler water availability and safety
– NFPA 70 Article 695 Fire Pumps - Building plumbing codes (ICC and IAPMO)
- Water Re-use
- Water heaters
- Food service steam tables
- Residence hall potable water systems
- Water use in emergency shower and eyewash installations
- Decorative fountains.
- Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems
Since 2016 we have tracked other water-related issues:
- Safe water in playgrounds
- National Seagrant College programs
- Guide to Infection Control in the Healthcare Setting
- Electrical safety around water (cooling towers, swimming pools, spas)
- ASTM Water Testing Standards
- ASTM Standard for Water Distribution
- Electricity and Water Conservation on College and University Campuses in Response to National Competitions among Dormitories: Quantifying Relationships between Behavior, Conservation Strategies and Psychological Metrics
Relevant federal legislation:
- Clean Water Act
- Drinking Water Requirements for States and Public Water Systems
- Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
- Safe Drinking Water Act

Factors Affecting the Adoption of Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling
Asit Tripathy – Atanu Bhuyan – Ramakrushna Padhy | Indian Institute of Management
Laura Corazza | Department of Management, University of Turin
Abstract: The rising usage of electric vehicle batteries (EVBs) has led to the unprecedented accumulation of battery waste—creating environmental problems and raw material shortages as the batteries approach their end of life (EOL). This article examines the critical enablers of EVB recycling adoption. Using a theoretical lens for technology adoption, the article further explains the enablers of EVB recycling by extending the technological, organizational, and environmental framework. The present article adopts a hybrid Delphi approach to explore the interdependent cause-and-effect relationships of the enablers. The integrated framework has been tested by obtaining data from multiple stakeholder groups consisting of academic researchers, practitioners, and policy planners in India. The framework is followed by a comparative assessment of the multiple stakeholder perceptions, highlighting the similarities and differences. A consensus among all stakeholders is observed regarding the significance of a business model with take-back systems to enable EVB recycling adoption. This article shows how organizational factors strongly enable favorable decisions more than the technological and environmental counterparts. Differences were observed between the practitioners favoring technological enablers over other dimensions, while the policy planners equitably considered all dimensions, and the academic researchers showed an intermediate perspective for EVB recycling innovations. The findings offer theoretical and practical insights to help managers, organizations, and policy planners prioritize their efforts to promote EVB recycling adoption.

Facilities Life Safety Director Professional Qualifications
“Incendie à Rome 18 July 64 AD” 1785 Hubert Robert
NFPA 1082 Standard for Facilities Fire and Life Safety Director Professional Qualifications identifies the minimum job performance requirements for Building Fire and Life Safety Directors. It is a relatively new title (first edition 2019) that sets minimum standards for hiring criteria and job performance.
This title adds dimension and technical specifics that should be known to hiring committees in all education communities as the list of sample job descriptions indicate:
Director of Campus Safety Gustavus University
Executive Director for Campus and Public Safety Boise State University
Assistant Director Campus Safety College of the Canyons
NFPA 1082 job requirements, and the requirements of all NFPA titles, may be implied in the “familiar with all applicable codes and standards” general-purpose language. The two main First Draft committees met online in July and November produced provisional revisions in the link below:
Building Fire and Life Safety Directors
Public input on the 2026 Revision will be received until January 4, 2024.
You may submit comments on the proposed changes directly to the NFPA 1082 committee (CLICK HERE). You may also click in to our daily colloquia when we can walk you through the NFPA public outreach on all of its titles generally. This title in a standing item on our periodic Human Resource colloquium; open to everyone. See our CALENDAR.
