BSR/BICSI 007-202x, Information Communication Technology Design and Implementation Practices for Intelligent Buildings and Premises (revision
of ANSI/BICSI 007-2017)
This standard covers the design and implementation of the information communication technology systems required to support an intelligent
building/premise integrated design. Systems covered, include, but are not limited to: building automation/management, utility utilization, lighting,
signage and wayfinding, sound and acoustical services, vertical transportation, location, and asset tracking.

Information and communications technology (ICT) is a fast-moving space in which a mix of consensus, consortia and open-source standards form the broad contours of leading practice. The “culture” of ICT is informed by international trends — more so than, say, fire safety standards which are informed trends administered by state and local fire marshalls. It is fair to say that ICT supports the beating heart of the education facility industry.
The Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) is a professional association supporting the advancement of the ICT community in all markets. This community is roughly divided between experts who deal with “outside-plant” systems and “building premise” systems on either side of the ICT demarcation (or Point-of-Presence). BICSI standards cover the wired and wireless spectrum of voice, data, electronic safety & security, project management and audio & video technologies. The landing page for its standards-setting enterprise is linked below:

BICSI has released a revision of one of its consensus products for public review:
This standard covers the design and implementation of the information communication technology systems required to support an intelligent building/premise integrated design. Systems covered, include, but are not limited to: building automation/management, utility utilization, lighting, signage and wayfinding, sound and acoustical services, vertical transportation, location, and asset tracking.
BICSI 007 also provides requirements and recommendation for design and implementation of the structured cabling system and related applications for any size building or premise, including those that serve commercial, government, transportation, residential, or any other functions. It also includes information for building automation systems, low-voltage lighting, combined data and power transmission (e.g., PoE, PoH), and a number of other systems that are routinely found inside intelligent building applications.
Comments are due January 20th.
Review copies are free and obtainable from Jeff Silveira (jsilveira@bicsi.org). Send comments to Jeff with an optional copy to psa@ansi.org.
All BICSI standards are on our twice-monthly Power & Telecommunications teleconferences which we host jointly with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

The school bus system is the largest mass transportation system in the United States*
and has eluded the “gales of creative destruction”** found in other industries.
In April the US Department of Transportation (DOT) created the Non-Traditional and Emerging Transportation Technology (NETT) Council to identify and resolve jurisdictional and regulatory gaps associated with non-traditional and emerging transportation projects pending before DOT, including with respect to safety oversight, environmental review, and funding issues. The Office of the Secretary of Transportation invites comments on projects, issues, or topics that DOT should consider through the NETT Council, including regulatory models and other alternative approaches for non-traditional and emerging transportation technologies.
The Federal Register Notice is linked below:
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION / Office of the Secretary / Docket No. DOT–OST–2019–0165
Comments directly to the DOT are due January 10, 2020.
Apart from inter- and intra- campus travel issues, there are three reasons for Standards Michigan interest in the DOT inquiry:
- According to DOT statistics the American school bus system is the largest public transportation operation in the United States; with nearly 500,000 vehicles moving 26 million children to school every day.
- A great deal of federal funding is allocated to transportation research.
- Academic programs in engineering and urban planning must include an understanding of public and private transportation issues.
For the education facility industry, Standards Michigan prefers privately developed consensus products; preferably by accredited or open-source standard developers with robust outreach toward the user-interest. The American National Standards Institute — the not-for-profit organization that supports the voluntary standards and conformity assessment system — is planning to develop a response to the Request for Information, and strongly encourages its members and constituents to either respond directly to the RFI or to contribute to the ANSI’s response.
Contributions to ANSI’s response are due December 20th.
We place this commenting opportunity on the agenda of our monthly Transportation & Parking teleconference. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

We have spent the better part of 2019 setting up the 50-state framework and the algorithms for identifying commenting opportunities on consensus products that set the standard of care for safety and sustainability of the $300 billion education facility industry. A spend rate of this size compares with the annual gross domestic product of entire nations such as Denmark and Chile.
Starting January 1, 2020 you will begin to notice more specifics about how each state finances, builds and operates the real assets that are the crucible for business and culture. Hewing to our core mission we will focus on identifying and strengthening the voice of the user-interest. (See our ABOUT)
StandardsMichigan.COM will remain the home site where most of the content is free. All other states will have a dedicated web site — identifiable by the URL: www.standardsstate.com — which will roll out through 2020. For example:
…
…
www.StandardsTexas.com (This is our mock-up site at the moment)
…
It is unlikely that the web sites of all 50-states will have the same look and feel; owing to each state’s unique business and cultural profile; each state will have a different look-and-feel because every state’s business culture is different. The content will be rich and fast-moving but we will be experimenting with different content management systems as 2020 proceeds.
