“Etude pour les constructeurs” Fernand Leger

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.

Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park Laboratory

Because so much of the #SmartCampus transformation involves electrotechnologies, we walk-through live public consultation notices pertaining to the safety and sustainability agenda of education communities.  Our meeting today coincides with the day of two IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.

Today we examine a few time-sensitive public consultations released by incumbent building code developers and state agencies that adopt these codes whole cloth or with amendments.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

Periodic review of all consensus, consortia and open source codes, standards and regulations the set the standard of care for security of education facilities.   Send [email protected] an email for an advance agenda.

“Snow at Argenteuil” | Claude Monet (1875)

Status check of best practice titles covering the management of education communities during the coldest months.

The Impact of E-Waste / Student Art Guide

Certain requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”.

Today at 11 AM/E we examine the state of best practice literature – including government regulations — that apply to education communities.

International Electrotechnical Commission

Today at 11 AM/ET we review live public consultation notices from cloud technology standards setting organizations with an eye toward minimizing costs associated with cloud vendor lock-in.

Today at 11 AM/ET we update our understanding of best practice literature relevant to the information and communication technology enterprises in education communities.  Our online meetings coincides with the day of two IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.  Open to everyone.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

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.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.  Because a great deal of content is copyright protected by the ISO, IEC and the ITU, please contact [email protected] for an advance agenda.

“The Doctor” 1891 Luke Fildes

Many research universities have large medical research and clinical delivery enterprises that provide significant revenue.   Every month we run through public commenting opportunities for consensus documents that set the standard of care for the facilities and technologies in these enterprises.

Whatever anyone wants to talk about.

East Longmeadow Public Schools

Today at 15:00 UTC we drill into the technical specifics that contribute to the safety and sustainability of spaces used for the teaching, practice and display of the fine arts.  These occupancies are typically at greater risk than classrooms because they usually contain volatile fluids for artistic painting or biologic specimen preservation, kilns for pottery, fabrics and related machinery for teaching fashion design and practice.  

“Der Alchemist” 1908 / Max Fuhrmann

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.  Anyone is welcomed to join this teleconference with the login information below.  For an agenda, please join our mailing list.
