Settled in Berrien Springs Michigan, Andrews University is the flagship educational institution of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and is made up of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, School of Education, School of Health Professions, and the School of Architecture, Art & Design. We are named after John Nevins Andrews (1829–1883), the biggest thinker in the 19th-century Seventh-day Adventist Church.

He was also the first sponsored missionary that the Church sent overseas. J.N. Andrews’ example of careful thought and compassionate action in Christian life is something we have taken to heart. Our motto is “Seek Knowledge. Affirm Faith. Change the World.” For more information about who we are and how you can be a part of it, visit andrews.edu.

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.)

We will scan noteworthy releases of tax advantage financial instruments that finance this construction.

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.

Periodic review of the best practice catalogs that set the standard of care for security of education communities.    Less electrotechnical as with Security 100 and 200 and more Regulatory and management codes and standards; a great deal of which are self-referencing.

Today at 11 AM EDT we review the status consensus products (codes, standards, guidelines, recommendations and safety legislation) that set the standard of care for the design, manufacture and maintenance of interior fixtures such as carpet, furniture, bookshelves and ceiling tiles, plumbing fixtures.  Waste management, laboratory fixtures, recycling amenities — i.e. things are not nailed down — are on the agenda.   Also we track elevated interest and market-making by conformity interests in the manufacturing and material recycling far up the value chain.

In large research universities, it is common for building service personnel engaged in keeping facilities clean and tidy to constitute the largest proportion of permanent employees; thus some consideration must be given to occupational safety.
