Power & ICT
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.
