We follow the construction spend rate of the US education industry; using the US Census Bureau Construction Spending figures released the first day of every month. We encourage our colleagues in the education facilities industry to respond to Census Bureau-retained data gathering contractors in order to contribute to the accuracy of the report. Aperiodic walk-through of code and standards revisions that are incorporated by reference in state and local regulations, into education facility design guidelines and construction contracts. Use the login credentials at the top right of our home page. https://standardsmichigan.com/design-guidelines-construction-specifications/ Because so much of the #SmartCampus transformation involves electrotechnologies, we walk-through of public commenting opportunities on electrical power, telecommunication, information and communication technology standards twice per month. Coincides with the day of two IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 15:00 Central European time and 3:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas. Electrical engineer/inventor Guglielmo Marconi with the spark-gap transmitter (right) and coherer receiver (left) he used in some of his first long distance radiotelegraphy transmissions during the 1890s. An update on our collaboration with other like-minded units in the education industry in the US and other nations. In most cases we conform to participation requirements set by ANSI US Technical Advisory Groups but we also have liaison with other universities in the European Union who conform to the participation requirements of their own national standards bodies.

ISO, IEC, and ITU October Listings of Work Items Published As we explain in our ABOUT that we have specific expertise in the education industry that may help students at all colleges and universities enter the Student Paper Competition sponsored by the American National Standards Institute Committee on Education. We are devoting one hour per month in this time slot ahead of the 2020 paper deadline. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page. See related link below: https://standardsmichigan.com/student-paper-winners-2015-2019/ Today at 11 AM EDT we review the status consensus products (codes, standards, guidelines, recommendations and safety legislation) that set the standard of care for the design, manufacture and maintenance of interior fixtures such as carpet, furniture, bookshelves and ceiling tiles, plumbing fixtures. Waste management, laboratory fixtures, recycling amenities — i.e. things are not nailed down — are on the agenda. Also we track elevated interest and market-making by conformity interests in the manufacturing and material recycling far up the value chain. In large research universities, it is common for building service personnel engaged in keeping facilities clean and tidy to constitute the largest proportion of permanent employees; thus some consideration must be given to occupational safety.

Monthly review of all consensus, consortia and open source codes, standards and regulations the set the standard of care for security of education facilities. We group them with fire protection standards because most of the compliance and enforcement expertise originates with fire safety expertise. Send bella@standardsmichigan.com an email for an advance agenda. Review of all consensus, consortia and open source codes, standards and regulations regarding energy production and conservation relevant to the education facility industry. Faculty and staff in the education industry in all nations provide basic research, application research in energy technologies. The “cities-within-cities” we call the #SmartCampus” also provide crucibles for new testing new technologies as well as provide energy load for utilities operating under all ownership regimes. Send bella@standardsmichigan.com an email for an advance agenda. Status check on standards action that guide laboratory safety and sustainability in all building disciplines. There are about ten standards developers in this space and they do not all move in a coordinated manner among themselves; much less from state-to-state.
