Power

Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park Laboratory

Because so much of the #SmartCampus transformation involves electrotechnologies, we walk-through live public consultation notices pertaining to the safety and sustainability agenda of education communities.  Our meeting today 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.

 

 

 

Cloud

International Electrotechnical Commission

Today we review live public consultation notices from cloud technology standards setting organizations with an eye toward minimizing costs associated with cloud vendor lock-in.

Food

California Polytechnic Pomona

Overview of codes and standards relevant to the food service enterprises in K-12 schools, college and university student housing, athletic venues and university-affiliated healthcare systems.

Recycling

The Impact of E-Waste / Student Art Guide

Certain requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”.

Today at 11 AM/E we examine the state of best practice literature – including government regulations — that apply to education communities.

Who is the “User-Interest”?

The University of Michigan

Who it is.  Why it matters.

The Standards Michigan platform routinely refers to the “User-Interest” in the global standards system and the dominance of “niche verticals” that determine the cost of education communities for the final fiduciary.  Today at 11 AM/ET we drill deeper into this claim by reviewing the roster of a few technical committees administered by standards setting organizations.  The dominance of every interest group over the user-interest will be in plain sight.  You will also see that the dominance of all other stakeholders over the user-interest is not the fault of the niche verticals.  It is the fault of the user-interest and may be an unresolvable “wicked problem”.

Construction Spend

University of Michigan 1855

 

 

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.

N.B. We have migrated our “Model Building Code” content into to this session starting this month.
