Illumination 400 (Outdoor Exterior)

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.

Trinity Term occupies a special place in the cultural life of some West European settlements in England, Ireland, and Italy among others. Occurring in late spring and early summer, it represents the season of culmination, ceremony, beauty, and transition.  Unlike the darker and more disciplined Hilary or Lent terms, Trinity Term unfolds amid long daylight, flowering gardens, rowing races, chapel music, examinations, and commencement rituals. The atmosphere is simultaneously scholarly and celebratory.  Culturally, Trinity Term symbolizes intellectual maturity and seasonal renewal. It evokes memory, friendship, romance, achievement, and the bittersweet awareness that another academic year — and often an entire stage of life — is ending.

 

Health 400 | OB-GYN

 

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.

Disaster 500

Today at the usual hour we review the literature that sets the standard of care for prevention, response and resilience of the education facility industry to storms, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and all other disasters.  We will examine a selection of court filings that should inform how facility managers should prepare and respond to disasters, but also identify gaps in best practice literature and (possibly) key in proposals for how those gaps may be removed.
