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.
Overview of codes and standards relevant to the food service enterprises in K-12 schools, college and university student housing, athletic venues and university-affiliated healthcare systems.
With emphasis on OB-GYN because educational settlements are where families begin and grow among the young.
Many research universities have large medical research and clinical delivery enterprises that provide significant revenue. We periodically scan public consultations for literature that sets the standard of care for the facilities and technologies in these enterprises in education communities.

Watersports are sports and recreational activities that take place on or in water. There are numerous types of watersports, and they can be broadly categorized into several groups:
Aquatic Sports: These sports take place in water and include swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo, and artistic swimming (formerly known as synchronized swimming).
Board Sports: Board sports involve riding on various types of boards on the water’s surface. Examples include surfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), windsurfing, kitesurfing (also known as kiteboarding), wakeboarding, and skimboarding.
Sailing and Yachting: This category includes activities that use boats with sails, such as sailing, yachting, and sailboat racing.
Canoeing and Kayaking: Canoeing involves propelling a canoe with a paddle, and kayaking involves propelling a kayak with a double-bladed paddle. Both activities can be done in different water conditions, including calm lakes and whitewater rivers.
Rowing: Rowing involves moving a boat forward with oars, typically with several rowers working in synchronization. It is a popular competitive sport and can also be enjoyed recreationally.
Jet Skiing and Personal Watercraft: Riding personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis, Sea-Doos, or WaveRunners, is a popular watersport activity for recreation and thrill-seekers.
Water Skiing: Water skiing involves being pulled behind a boat on skis while being towed on the water’s surface.
Diving Sports: Diving sports encompass various activities, including snorkeling, free diving (diving without scuba gear), and scuba diving (diving with self-contained underwater breathing apparatus).
Fishing: Fishing can be considered a watersport as it involves catching fish from various bodies of water.
These are just some of the many watersports enjoyed by people around the world. Each of these activities offers a unique experience and appeals to individuals with different interests and skill levels.
Today, about one-tenth of the world’s population are southpaws. Why are such a small proportion of people left-handed — and why does the trait exist in the first place? https://t.co/6nvhhTHmoc
Today we explain our collaboration with other like-minded units in education communities in the US and other nations. In most cases we conform to participation requirements set by ANSI US Technical Advisory Groups to the International Organization for Standardization but we also have liaison with other universities in the European Union who conform to the participation requirements of their own national standards bodies.
“The transformation of traditional agriculture is crucial for the development of an economy. It is the productivity gains in agriculture that can free up resources and labor to contribute to growth in other sectors.” — Theodore W. Schultz
Today we pick through a few tax-free bond offerings that finance education community construction with a eye toward reducing construction cost and life-cycle maintenance through building codes and standards. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
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.
One of the most contentious aspects of best practice discovery and promulgation in any domain, and no less so in educational settlements, is an agreed-upon vocabulary and shared understanding. As we explain elsewhere in this history, when a counter-party disagrees with you, he simply switches out the vocabulary — i.e. changes definitions or adds or subtracts from the traditional meanings of things. So we approach this topic several times a year to confirm our bearing on the meaning of things.
We observe National Poetry Month in the United States and Canada every year with an inquiry into changes in the (meaning of) definitions at the foundation of best practice literature; frequently the subject of sporty debate among experts writing codes and standards for the built environment of education communities.
In the United Kingdom, National Poetry Month is celebrated in October, and it is known as “National Poetry Day” which has been observed since 1994. It is an initiative of the Forward Arts Foundation, which aims to encourage people to read, write and perform poetry.
Other countries also have their own poetry celebrations, such as World Poetry Day, which is observed annually on March 21 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry worldwide.
In past years we used a Tamil mnemonic because Tamil is the oldest surviving language and remains the spoken language of 80-odd million people of South Asia. Alas, use of Tamil confounds our Wordpress content management system so in 2024 we began coding this topic in American English
