Our “code wins” are widely scattered over 35 years and are detailed in widely scattered publications, pages and posts.   Starting January 2025 we will gather them together in a single blog post.  For now, we list a few of about 35 electrical energy, fire safety and operation and maintenance changes to codes and standards that are difficult to track on a balance sheet but are reveal themselves in the usually hidden administrative, first and life cycle cost.

Keep in mind that many of our claimed “code wins” involve cross correlation, administrative and wordsmithing changes that remove ambiguity in code interpretation and result in real dollar savings.

Quinn Mink, from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions explains

Drinking from My Saucer | John Paul Moore

I’ve never made a fortune and it’s probably too late now.
But I don’t worry about that much, I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s way, I’m reaping better than I sowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

I don’t have a lot of riches, and sometimes the going’s tough.
But I’ve got loved ones around me, and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He’s bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ’Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again.
So God, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I’ve hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough.
I’ll not ask for other blessings, I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy, to help others bear their loads.
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
