Leviathan

117th Congress Swearing In Floor Proceedings – January 3, 2021, House Chamber

Today we run a status check on ANSI-accredited consensus, open-source and consortia consensus products incorporated by reference into federal regulations of the real assets of the US education industry.  Send a request to bella@standardsmichigan.com for an advance agenda.

Standing Agenda / Federal Action

FinTech

“Parable of the Rich Fool” 1627 Rembrandt

Today we pick through the prospectuses of one or two tax-free bond referenda.  We also review public consultations by ANSI-accredited and finance industry consortia involved in the cost of building and running to real (estate) assets of US education communities.

Status check of best practice titles covering the management of education community energy infrastructure and buildings during the coldest months.

Media

We review best practice literature in the field of audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment greatly expanded in the Massive Online Open Online Course  and #LearnFromHome zietgeist.  These titles include specification of the performance, methods of measurement for consumer and professional equipment and their application in systems and its interoperability with other systems or equipment.  Multimedia is the integration of any form of audio, video, graphics, data and telecommunication and integration includes the production, storage, processing, transmission, display and reproduction of such information.

Innovation – Standardization – Commoditization run along a continuum.  Today we unpack some of the ideas that hasten (and prohibit) leading practice discovery; how quickly goods and services become a “human right”; why all of this is relevant to education communities and why some believe that commoditization is a myth.

From the Wikipedia

In business literature, commoditization is defined as the process by which goods that have economic value and are distinguishable in terms of attributes (uniqueness or brand) end up becoming simple commodities in the eyes of the market or consumers. It is the movement of a market from differentiated to undifferentiated price competition and from monopolistic competition to perfect competition. Hence, the key effect of commoditization is that the pricing power of the manufacturer or brand owner is weakened: when products become more similar from a buyer’s point of view, they will tend to buy the cheapest.

 

Power

Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park Laboratory

 

Today we run a status check on best practice in electrical power system design, construction, operations and maintenance that support the learning, research and medical clinical delivery enterprises in education communities.

Our colloquia on this topic coincide with the two monthly IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.

 

 

 

Elevators

University of Wisconsin Stadium Elevator

Many education communities have 100’s of elevators and escalators.   This is a difficult space for driving costs down (because of strong manufacturer and labor presence) but we will give the “old college try”
