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.

MIT — graduate student family. MIT has just profiled a graduate-student family and the community they found among other student parents. MIT News
MIT — actual infrastructure for student families. Three on-campus family-housing options, backup childcare and childbirth/parental accommodations. Useful factual companion to #3 rather than merely university atmospherics. Office of Graduate Education
UC Davis — Student Parent Space. A new dedicated Student Parent Space is open, with fall programming beginning now and links to housing, childcare and resources for expecting/new parents. Another unusually direct Domestic University item. Student Parent Resources
UMass Amherst — family housing. Fall 2026 applications are open for students with children, spouses, partners or dependent relatives; notably, the page currently identifies October 1 as the beginning of its move-in window.
