Illumination 300
Illumination technologies have had a pattern of consuming about 35 percent of building electrical energy use. That number has been pressed downward with the expanded application of LED luminaires and occupant responsive controls; much of the transformation hastened by the IEEE, IES and ASHRAE best practice catalogs.
Today we run through the development status of these products with specific interest in exterior illumination best practice. This topic also is covered in the 4 time monthly meetings of the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee.

Laboratories
Status check on standards action that guide laboratory safety and sustainability in all building disciplines.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia
The formal Latin name for the fear of Friday the 13th is “paraskevidekatriaphobia.” This term combines the Greek words “Paraskeví” (meaning Friday) and “dekatreís” (meaning thirteen), with “phobia” (meaning fear).
Etymology:
- Paraskeví (Παρασκευή): Greek word for Friday.
- Dekatreís (δεκατρείς): Greek word for thirteen.
- Phobia (φοβία): Greek word for fear.
This term was coined to describe the specific fear of this particular date, which is considered unlucky in various cultures. An alternative term sometimes used is “friggatriskaidekaphobia,” which incorporates “Frigg,” the Norse goddess for whom Friday is named.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the sources discussing the psychological and cultural aspects of this phobia:

We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
