In partnership with @Yeatssocietyirl, we are hosting a special virtual event to mark the 100th anniversary of the #poem ‘The Second Coming’ by WB #Yeats. Join us on Friday, 13 Nov at 7pm for an evening of discussion and #poetry readings.
You are welcomed to join our review of backup power systems (customer-level). Although the term “backup” is not used in the codes and standards that govern electrical power safety and reliability, “backup” is a term of art widely used in design and field practice.

Today we scan of redlines of titles open for public consultation in the mechanical engineering domain as it is understood in building construction disciplines. After architectural elements, mechanical systems in new building construction encompass a variety of components and technologies that are designed to ensure the comfort, safety, and functionality of the building’s occupants. These systems are crucial for maintaining indoor environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and air quality. Here are some key mechanical system elements commonly found in new building construction:
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning):
Heating: Furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, or electric heaters are used to provide warmth in cold seasons.
Ventilation: Systems that circulate fresh air, remove indoor pollutants, and regulate humidity.
Air Conditioning: Cooling systems, such as central air conditioners or ductless mini-split units, maintain comfortable temperatures during hot weather.
Ductwork: A network of ducts and pipes used to distribute heated or cooled air throughout the building. These ducts also serve to facilitate ventilation and air filtration.
Plumbing Systems: Water supply and wastewater removal systems, including pipes, fixtures, pumps, and water heaters for hot water supply.
Elevators and Escalators: Vertical transportation systems that move people and goods between different floors of the building.
Noise Control: Sound insulation and acoustic design are essential for ensuring a comfortable and quiet indoor environment, especially in commercial or multi-family residential buildings.
Building Automation and Smart Technologies: Integration of smart devices and sensors for energy management, security, and convenience, including lighting, blinds, and security systems. These are computer-based systems that monitor and control various building systems, including HVAC, lighting, security, and access control, to optimize energy usage and maintain comfort.
Plumbing and Sanitary Systems: Sanitary systems manage wastewater disposal and sewage, while plumbing systems provide clean water for domestic use.
Environmental Controls: Systems for managing indoor air quality, including air purification, humidity control, and pollutant filtration.
These mechanical system elements work in conjunction to create a comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient building environment. The design and integration of these systems are critical to the overall functionality and sustainability of modern building projects.

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 IEEE and ASHRAE consensus products.
Today we run through the development status of these products. Our meeting 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.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Franklin was queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. A lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Franklin replied, “A republic… if you can keep it.” pic.twitter.com/7bVyHJbM86

Today we explain our collaboration with other education settlements in the US and other nations. 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.

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. Starting 2023 we have begun to break down our coverage of information and communication technology embedded in campus buildings into two modules – Infotech 200 and Infotech 400.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is an independent agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil. While FERC operates independently, it reports to Congress and is administratively housed within the Department of Energy (DOE). However, the DOE does not oversee FERC’s regulatory decisions, as FERC operates autonomously under its own authority.
Today we refresh our understanding of the regulations for Class D campus radio systems. We review the literature for production technologies and FM transmission technologies through airwaves, cabling systems, the internet or a combination of all.
