December 13 is St Lucia's Day, a Christian tradition celebrated mostly in the Nordic countries. This annual tradition is a symbol of bringing light in the darkness of winter, warming the hearts, and offering joy. Happy St Lucia's Day! pic.twitter.com/FHUlEfcS2y

Happy Santa Lucia Day! Lucy is a symbol of light and hope in the darkness of winter. May we all find her when we need her, and bear her light and hope for others when we find we have some to spare. As is tradition, I made Lussekatter, or St. Lucia S-shaped rolls. ❤️🕯️❤️🕯️❤️ pic.twitter.com/3dfFrYefin

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.
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.
