Last chance to sign up for the sessions ➡️ https://t.co/7uwUjMg4p6 @ICONTEC pic.twitter.com/A26I37jCT2 — ISO (@isostandards) September 7, 2024 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. https://standardsmichigan.com/illumination-400/ “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.

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: “A Song of Springtime” 1913 John William Waterhouse Review of development in safety and sustainability best practice catalogs for education community outdoor environment. https://youtu.be/MMzWCVL7ZXk?si=lJGynbWjmZ56aofp Rud videregående skole | Viken Norgehttps://t.co/0MbYBjhbpfhttps://t.co/Vl97Q5VjXj — Standards Michigan (@StandardsMich) August 30, 2024 “Long after August, the dawns will rise cooler, more blue, each hinting at the end of summer.” https://youtu.be/dQ_pmTQfHno?si=StA6IYAqST_0yKDz https://youtu.be/qxKHzJsJ2iI?si=DraLQ1c0rG1Qn-hJ

The calendar of Anglosphere educational settlements subtly shapes life of the mind, generally; and family and community life, specifically. Its cadence has roots in the cathedral schools and monastic learning communities of medieval Europe. Universities were not originally organized around modern “semesters.” Instead, the year followed the Christian liturgical calendar, agricultural seasons, food paths, daylight availability, and travel conditions.
In America educational calendars were nudged along by agricultural cycles. In the United Kingdom university calendars evolved into three major terms: Michaelmas in autumn, associated with arrival and beginnings; Hilary or Lent in winter, associated with discipline and study; and Trinity or Easter in spring, associated with examinations, outdoor rituals, music, rowing, gardens, and celebration.
Modern commencement traditions across the Anglosphere are descendants of medieval spring degree ceremonies. Academic gowns, hoods, processions, Latin phrases, formal dining, chapel music, and public recognition all preserve traces of the university as a scholarly guild and religious-civic community.
Before railways, electric lighting, and central heating, universities had to adapt to muddy roads, short winter days, limited candles, cold buildings, and agricultural obligations. Spring therefore became the natural season of culmination, reunion, athletic competition, courtship, and ceremony.
The medieval university was not merely a school but an educational settlement — a self-governing town of scholars, libraries, chapels, kitchens, workshops, residences, and dining halls. That settlement pattern survives in residential colleges, quadrangles, tutorial systems, common rooms, chapel choirs, and formal meals.
Anglosphere campuses retain this ancient emotional rhythm: autumn seriousness, winter inwardness, and spring release. That continuity helps explain why colleges and universities still feel culturally distinct from ordinary commercial society. (Relata: Gulliver Visits the Great Academy of Lagado)
We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
