William Attardi on December 31, 2024

The federal government is the nation’s largest property owner, maintaining a portfolio of nearly 9,600 buildings that span over 375 million square feet. It’s the nation’s largest energy consumer, as well. The GSA’s 2024 P100 Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service — a key document guiding building design and the purchase of products for federal and other public entities — now points project actors to the DLC’s LUNA Technical Requirements and Qualified Projects List for certain types of outdoor lighting at public facilities. Specifiers, designers and installers wishing to identify outdoor lighting products for use in federal and other public buildings can find and compare LUNA-listed luminaires by creating a free myDLC account and then searching the LUNA QPL.  Federal Government Now Requires Energy Efficient Outdoor Lighting Products that Reduce Light Pollution at Thousands of Government Sites and Facilities | EC&M

Key Themes of Washington’s Farewell Address 

Crafted with the assistance of his close advisors, including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, President George Washington’s Farewell Address was intended to offer guidance and warnings to the American people as they faced the challenges of the future. Among the most significant themes were:

  1. Neutrality in Foreign Affairs – advising that the United States should avoid becoming involved in the conflicts and political machinations of foreign powers. He argued that such alliances could lead to unnecessary entanglements and could jeopardize American interests and independence.
  2. The Dangers of Political Parties – Washington expressed concern that political factions could lead to divisions within the country and weaken the unity of the nation. He believed that political parties could become sources of discord and could prioritize their own interests over the common good. He encouraged Americans to work together for the benefit of the nation as a whole.
  3. The Importance of National Unity – He emphasized that the strength of the United States depended on the unity of its people and the coherence of its government. Washington urged Americans to set aside regional and political differences and to work together to build a strong and prosperous nation. Source: Day in History
