Doors have long since been a simple “opening” or “fenestration”. Doors are “portals”; nodes on the geometry of the Internet of Small Things. There are 100’s of thousands of these nodes on any single college, university or school district. First costs run from $1000 per door in a classroom to $100,000 per door in hospitals with maintenance and operation costs commensurate with complexity of the hardware and software needed to maintain integration of the door with building security and energy systems.
We find the bulk of best practice identified in the catalogs of the following accredited standards developers for the United States construction markets:
ASTM International
Conflicting Requirements of Exit Doors
Standard Practice for Installation of Exterior Windows, Doors and Skylights
Repair Methods for Common Water Leaks at Operable Windows and Sliding Glass Doors
Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association
International Code Council
International Building Code Chapter 10:
Chapter 24: Glass and Glazing
Accessibility Requirements (Referenced from ICC A117.1)
Energy Efficiency (Referenced from IECC)

Education happening outside the home offers several advantages that contribute to the holistic development of children:
Socialization: Interacting with peers and teachers in a structured environment helps children learn social skills, cooperation, and conflict resolution, which are essential for navigating the complexities of adult life.
Diverse Perspectives: Schools expose children to a variety of viewpoints, backgrounds, and cultures, fostering tolerance, empathy, and understanding of diversity.
Specialized Instruction: Qualified educators are trained to teach specific subjects and tailor instruction to different learning styles, ensuring that children receive a well-rounded education.
Access to Resources: Schools provide access to resources such as libraries, laboratories, sports facilities, and technology that may not be available at home, enriching the learning experience.
Extracurricular Activities: Schools offer extracurricular activities like sports, music, drama, and clubs, which help children discover their interests, develop talents, and build leadership skills.
Preparation for the Real World: Schools simulate real-world environments, teaching children important life skills such as time management, responsibility, and teamwork, which are crucial for success in adulthood.
Professional Development: Educators undergo continuous training and development to stay updated with the latest teaching methodologies and educational practices, ensuring high-quality instruction for students.
While home-based learning can complement formal education and offer flexibility, the structured environment and resources provided by schools play a vital role in shaping well-rounded individuals ready to thrive in society.
