Professional Photographers of America
Editor’s note: Having a genuine video presence has become important for the success of small businesses, especially photographers who need to form fast relationships with clients. The ability to show your authentic personality on video to potential clients is invaluable in your social and marketing outreach. We asked “View Finders” cohost and photographer Paul Daniel to show how he learned to be comfortable in front of the lens.
Beyond Qualification: Demonstrating Environmental Control in GxP Laboratories
Laboratories operating under GxP requirements often pass qualification and certification without difficulty. Environmental parameters are mapped, documented, and approved. On paper, the laboratory meets specification; however, qualification represents a controlled snapshot in time, not proof of sustained performance under real-world laboratory conditions. This is a distinction that is subtle but critical.
Hospital environmental monitoring systems: What facility managers should know
Published: Nov 14, 2025 Hospitals and clinics depend on controlled environments to deliver safe medicine and therapies. A few degrees of temperature drift in a pharmacy refrigerator—or an undetected humidity spike in an operating suite—can mean failed surveys, lost product, or patient risk. That’s why so many healthcare facilities are moving to automated hospital temperature monitoring systems that track critical conditions in real time.
Mapping Sensors: When do shelf changes require a new study?
Recently, I received a question from an attendee of our webinar "Mastering Temperature Mapping." Dear Paul, For small chambers (upright freezers or incubators), we qualify the unit with empty and max load studies. To meet the minimum requirement, we place 10 temperature sensors within the chamber—one in each corner, one in the center, and one near the control probe.
How to Create Well-Lit, Well-Used Spaces With the Right Lighting
The integration of lighting and architecture has always been an imperative aspect of design. However, developing innovative creative spaces with lighting demands another level of finesse, dedication and cost control. Innovation in design comes with careful integration with architecture and lighting fixtures that are customized for the environment. Research, behavioural, and healthcare lighting pose challenges for designers with respect to stringent requirements and constraints.
Relationships And Sexuality Education In Wales — by Gareth Edwards and John Denning
4 minute readJuly/August 2023, page 18 The Welsh Government has adopted a new approach to the curriculum in state schools, the Curriculum for Wales, which includes teaching ‘Relationships and Sexuality Education’ (RSE). This will apply to all pupils up to school leaving age, including nursery schools, and there is no parental right to withdraw children from these lessons. This academic year, it applies to primary schools and year 7 pupils in secondary schools that have opted-in.
Using a lighting construction budget
Learning Objectives Understand the owner’s project requirements (OPR) for lighting. Understand how to design lighting systems to meet the OPR. Lighting insights Lighting construction budget can be challenging to determine, as it is often presented as a dollars per square foot figure, making it difficult to understand the actual project needs and implications of different budget levels.
Adopting full electrification for large venue facilities
Current trends indicate as we move forward with electric vehicles (EV), photovoltaics (PV) and high efficiency heat pumps (COP 2.5 and greater), the overall electrical energy consumed in the United States will rise more than 30%. However, given the forecasted gains in the overall efficiencies of our electrical infrastructure, that consumption will be reduced by more than 50%.
Top 5 Consulting-Specifying Engineer Content
Top 5 Consulting-Specifying Engineer content over the past week covered lighting, BACnet, HVAC and more. 1. Understanding and navigating lighting standards and codes in building design, part 1 Michael Chow and Tony Staub discuss lighting and energy codes, standards and guidelines, focusing particularly on ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and the International Energy Conservation Code 2. Your questions answered: Can BACnet control an HVAC system?
Designing Human-Centric Lighting Controls
Since the discovery of fire, people have strived to create better and brighter light sources. From Thomas Edison receiving the first patent for his incandescent lamp in 1880, to AI controlled LEDs in the 2020s, humans have continuously manipulated artificial light to enhance everyday life.
Understanding and navigating lighting standards
Lighting standards Insights Michael Chow and Tony Staub highlight the importance of various lighting standards, particularly ASHRAE Standard 90.1: Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, as well as compliance with federal, state and local energy requirements.
How to design human-centric lighting controls
Learning Objectives Learn about three different lighting experiences in a health care environment. Understand how to apply human-centric lighting controls to health care projects. Observe the challenges in achieving human-centric lighting controls and corresponding solutions. Lighting control insights When designing lighting control systems, it’s important for the electrical engineer or lighting designer to consider all aspects of use.
Optimizing Lab Quality by Unlocking the Value in Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation
The past few years have shown that running any business has become increasingly difficult. Thanks to labor and product shortages, resources are consistently stretched to their maximum capacity. With all these factors in play, operating a GxP facility that complies with regulatory requirements is not easy, but doing so allows products to be manufactured and delivered safely under meticulous regulations and standards.
Ensuring Pharmaceutical Product Quality with Continuous Monitoring
When it comes to medicines and vaccines, getting storage right is crucial. Although it is common knowledge that the chemical properties of active ingredients in medicines and vaccines can change in different conditions, especially temperature and humidity, I find too often that organizations fail to effectively and reliably monitor product quality on an ongoing basis, especially within the distribution chain. Monitoring is not a new concept.
NNTT at Home - Werther
July. The young poet Werther visits the house of the recently widowed Bailiff where his young children are practicing a Christmas carol. Werther is to escort Charlotte, the Bailiff's eldest daughter, to a ball that evening. He is strongly attracted by the beauty and tenderness of Charlotte as she looks after her siblings. On their return from the ball, Werther declares his love to her, but he finds out that Charlotte is already engaged to Albert, who she promised her dying mother to marry.
