2024/2025/2026 ICC CODE DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE


Last update: September 30 2021

Safety and sustainability for any facility begins with an understanding of who shall occupy the built environment and what they will be doing in it.  Since we are guiding young people toward their goal of building things that are useful and beautiful we select the International Building Code as a starting point for an occupancy that requires a more elevated concern for safety than a typical classroom.

2021 International Building Code Section 307 High Hazard Group H

High-hazard occupancies in each of the International Code Council code development groups A, B and C; fetch back to these classifications.

Public input for the 2024 International Building Code will be received until January 8, 2024.

For the purpose of formulating our own proposals we begin with the developmental transcripts of the previous code cycle. Recommended search terms: “Section 307”, “Studio”, “Classroom” “University” will give you a sample of the ideas in play.  The complete monograph is linked below:

Automated Sports Court Drawing Bot

Stadium maintenance staff are one of those people who work hard to maintain the court correctly. One of the items that often require rework is the lines drawn on the court for maintenance of track or boundaries or even the entire court when it is football stadium etc. Besides, for indoor stadiums that host volleyball, basketball, tennis, etc., lines need to be drawn. Redrawing the court after each match is one of the major problems of concern. In such a scenario, a system is proposed that can draw the court lines autonomously. The objective of this research work is to present a design of an autonomous sports court drawing bot that can draw the linear lines automatically which can aid in the maintenance work of the sports stadium.

Agave

Standards Arizona

 

There are several colleges and universities that are studying or researching agave farming. Agave is a succulent plant that is used to produce a variety of products, including tequila, mezcal, and agave syrup. Here are a few examples of colleges and universities that are involved in agave farming research:

  1. University of Arizona – The University of Arizona has a research program focused on agave and its uses. The program includes research on agave farming practices, genetics, and product development.
  2. Texas A&M University – Texas A&M University has a research program focused on agave farming and the production of tequila and mezcal. The program includes research on agave plant physiology, breeding, and agronomy.
  3. Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara – The Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in Mexico has a research program focused on the agave industry, including research on agave farming practices, plant pathology, and product development.
  4. California State University, Fullerton – California State University, Fullerton has a research program focused on agave farming and the production of agave syrup. The program includes research on agave plant biology, chemistry, and processing.
  5. Universidad de Guadalajara – The Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico has a research program focused on agave farming and the production of tequila and mezcal. The program includes research on agave plant genetics, breeding, and agronomy.

These are just a few examples of colleges and universities that are involved in agave farming research. There are likely many more institutions that are studying agave farming and its various uses.

Virtual reality technology in evacuation simulation of sport stadiums

The application research of virtual reality technology in emergency evacuation simulation of sports stadium

Xiao Yi | Shanghai University of Sport

Abstract. With the activities of major sports events have become increasingly active and the social influence of sports events is gradually increasing, people have more and more opportunities to watch matches in sports stadiums. Sports stadium, as a place of relatively large occupant density, has high demands for its safe operation except that it is necessary to meet the needs of competitions. Under the unexpected situations, how to ensure the public safety has become the focus of social concern. This paper takes the emergent evacuation simulation of sports stadium as a main research object. It concerns the main problems that how to use virtual reality technology to build a three-dimensional simulated scene of sports stadium; how to truly simulated the whole evacuation process of many people under unexpected situations. The scene modeling of sports stadium, The construction of evacuation model, The visualization of evacuation process, Dynamic Roaming and Interaction design, Evaluation system and other issues are discussed in this article.

Landscape Lighting

 

Luminaires receive operating energy at voltage ranges from 120V to 600V AC.  For safety and aesthetic reasons — in gardens or inside stairway balustrades or bollards, for example — low voltage lighting is preferred.   The illumination of the pathway, for example, reduces risk to the community far more than the risk voltage presents.  These installations typically operate at 12 to 50 volts direct current.  Manufacturers bear much of the electrical safety burden; assuming the Owner installs and maintains the system correctly.

Faster than anyone will expect, interior building lighting will morph into low voltage systems because 1) the lower energy supply required by LED luminaires will make it possible to pipe that energy through low voltage cabling systems, 2) the pace of innovation we see in information and communication technologies will use those cabling systems for greater control of illumination systems.

We see these trends tracking in two sections of the 2020 National Electrical Code:

Article 300 Wiring Methods (Table 300.5)

Article 411 Low-Voltage Lighting

Comments on Public Input for the 2026 Revision will be received until 28 August 2024. Use workspace linked below:

CMP-9 Article 300

CMP-18 Article 411

CMP-18 Public Input with Committee Response

Apart from integrating a new definition of “extra low voltage” into the NEC, Article 411 is a relatively quiet part of the NEC.  Not so with Article 300 which is of great consequence to wiring manufacturers, among others.

Transylvania University Kentucky

We coordinate our advocacy in all education community electrotechnologies with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee which meets online 4 times monthly in both European and American time zones.  We maintain low voltage lighting on the standing agenda of our Power and Bucolia colloquia.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
