NIST Cloud Computing Standards Roadmap
The “next big thing” reveals itself in hindsight. Some areas of interest and potential advancements include:
- Edge Computing: Edge computing brings computation closer to the data source, reducing latency and bandwidth usage. It enables processing and analysis of data at or near the edge of the network, which is especially important for applications like IoT, real-time analytics, and autonomous systems.
- Quantum Computing: Quantum computing holds the promise of solving complex problems that are currently beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Cloud providers are exploring ways to offer quantum computing as a service, allowing users to harness the power of quantum processors.
- Serverless Computing: Serverless computing abstracts away server management, enabling developers to focus solely on writing code. Cloud providers offer Function as a Service (FaaS), where users pay only for the actual execution time of their code, leading to more cost-effective and scalable solutions.
- Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud: Organizations are increasingly adopting multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies to avoid vendor lock-in, enhance resilience, and optimize performance by distributing workloads across different cloud providers and on-premises infrastructure.
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Cloud providers are integrating AI and ML capabilities into their platforms, making it easier for developers to build AI-driven applications and leverage pre-built models for various tasks.
- Serverless AI: The combination of serverless computing and AI allows developers to build and deploy AI models without managing the underlying infrastructure, reducing complexity and operational overhead.
- Extended Security and Privacy: As data privacy concerns grow, cloud providers are investing in improved security measures and privacy-enhancing technologies to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with regulations.
- Containerization and Kubernetes: Containers offer a lightweight, portable way to package and deploy applications. Kubernetes, as a container orchestration tool, simplifies the management of containerized applications, enabling scalable and resilient deployments.

“All Applicable Standards”
From time to time we drill into representative design guidelines and specifications for facility classes that are present on educational campuses; including projects involving the spaces between buildings — i.e. water, pathway, power and telecommunication infrastructure.
We place particular emphasis on the “General Conditions” of these guidelines and specifications because up to 20 percent of a construction project may involve the cost of general conditions; depending upon how many disciplines are involved.
We find excesses in the General Conditions that tend to inflate contingency requirements but also shortcomings that design professionals, construction project managers and building service engineers* should know about. Facility development units will likely want to tweak design and construction documents to harmonize with the latest changes in the codes and standards that govern the safety and sustainability agenda of the education facility industry.

Building services engineers are responsible for the design, installation, operation and monitoring of the technical services in buildings (including mechanical, electrical and public health systems, also known as MEP or HVAC), in order to ensure the safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly operation.
Building services engineers work closely with other construction professionals such as architects, structural engineers and quantity surveyors.
Building services engineers influence the architectural design of building, in particular facades, in relation to energy efficiency and indoor environment, and can integrate local energy production (e.g. façade-integrated photovoltaics) or community-scale energy facilities (e.g. district heating). Building services engineers therefore play an important role in the design and operation of energy-efficient buildings (including green buildings, passive houses and zero energy buildings. uses. With buildings accounting for about a third of all carbon emissions] and over a half of the global electricity demand, building services engineers play an important role in the move to a low-carbon society; a prevailing sentiment among many educational settlements.

Varieties of Innovation
Business innovation involves creating new or improved business processes, models, or strategies to achieve organizational goals and gain a competitive advantage. It focuses on enhancing efficiency, customer experience, and overall business performance. Business innovation may encompass changes in marketing, operations, management, or other aspects of the business ecosystem.
On the other hand, technology innovation revolves around the development and application of new technologies or the improvement of existing ones. It aims to introduce novel solutions, products, or services by leveraging advancements in technology. Technology innovation can be driven by scientific research, engineering breakthroughs, or the integration of emerging technologies to address specific needs.
While business innovation is broad and encompasses various facets of organizational improvement, technology innovation specifically centers on advancements in technology and their strategic implementation. Successful companies often integrate both types of innovation to stay competitive, using business innovation to optimize processes and technology innovation to enable novel solutions and capabilities.
Noteworthy innovations relevant to the development and maintenance of the real assets of education settlements:
