This book covers many helpful analysis tools and processes to assist energy managers (EMs) administer their energy program through their meter management system (MMS). These tools and the corresponding techniques offer opportunities for the EM to optimize their time. If fully utilized, the MMS will allow an EM to reduce field time significantly, as they can perform most of the energy management pre-analysis, benchmarking, data analysis and, in many cases, complete the task of performing a virtual audit remotely from their office. The book covers many instructional areas that are, for the most part, only offered by consulting groups and software vendors as services. Those two groups offer their services for fees and therefore do not publish their ideas or best practices for commercial use. Software vendors provide software analytics whose functional aspects are addressed by our descriptions of the essential tasks in each chapter. This book allows EMs to expand their knowledge of software capabilities by viewing other best practices. Consulting groups offer services in a few areas: basic benchmarking and monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx). These services are considered essential to energy management but are generally implemented as on-site services, which, due to their nature, are much more expensive than a monitoring commissioning (MCx) solution. Monitoring commissioning, in contrast to MBCx, is purely done at the monitoring level and allows you to manage the critical energy measures that comprise the majority of the savings, but without getting into the field testing. Benchmarking is covered much deeper in the book as we show how to benchmark each system within a building. The benchmarking sections show how to automatically analyze each system’s usage into a separate benchmark for baseload, lighting, AC, and fan/pump systems. These systems produce benchmarks so EMs can compare by site, category type, climate zone, etc. We also introduce benchmarks that enable the EM to utilize tools to determine the performance of each system and which are their most significant energy users. These analytics functions are covered to produce results that identify potential energy savings for each energy system.
Over half century ago the society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children complained to Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, that Joe Keaton, a vaudeville actor, was brutally mistreating his five-year old son. At each afternoon and evening performance the child, billed as “The Human Mop”, was slammed on the floor, hurled into the wings, and sometimes banged into bass drums. Unable to find a bruise or scratch on the lad, Mayor Van Wyck refused to ban the act. The “Human Mop” bounced on to worldwide fame as Buster Keaton, one of this century’s greatest comedians. In this intimate autobiography Buster Keaton tells his whole personal and professional story, beginning with his colourful and exciting childhood as the undentable tot in the “Three Keatons” whose proudest boast was having the rowdiest, roughest act in vaudeville. Buster has played with all the great ones, from George M. Cohen and Bojangles Robinson and Al Jolson to Jack Paar and Ed Sullivan and Red Skelton, during his sixty years as a star in vaudeville, silent and talking pictures, night clubs and television. Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle got him into the movies and taught him how to throw a custard pie. Buster could not even keep slapstick out of his eleven months as a draftee in our World War I army. He came out to help create the Golden Age of Comedy with his friends Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Arbuckle, Mack Sennett and the Keystone Cops. Marital troubles and alcoholism once got Buster down, but could not keep him down. MY WONDERFUL WORLD OF SLAPSTICK was written with the collaboration of Charles Samuels, co-author of His Eye Is On the Sparrow, Ethel Waters’ best-selling autobiography. Buster Keaton’s Life Story will enchant and thrill all those who enjoy looking past the glitter and the grease paint into a magnificent performer’s mind and heart.
This book is a true story about the challenge of racial solidarity specifically within the walls of modern day American Christendom. In living color it addresses the naivety of Black and White people when assuming the love of the Gospel alone will cure the deep wounds of racism. A hard lesson is yearned and learned by the author but hopefully that lesson can permeate the hearts and minds of every believer that would have the courage to address this deep rooted issue in the Kingdom of “Heaven...on earth”.
After securing God's acknowledgment that it is okay by Him that I pursue my heart's desire to be a pilot, I leave Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, taking with me the teachings of Pastor Terry L. Mize, practical applications of God's Word, every day expecting some form of manifestation of God's presence, knowing that He has an interest in my best interest. Part 1 is about learning who I am in Christ Jesus. Part 2 chronicles twenty-five years of walking by faith, seeing lifelong prayers being answered, witnessing heart's desires being affirmed, and experiencing the manifestation of dreams come true. Part 3 records five years of life wherein it appears that one financial decision does not transpire in a way that I was taught. It is here that readers see a condition of hopelessness and despair where it seems all hell broke loose to affect my downfall. It is spiritual warfare, and I liken the condition with that of being confined within the walls of an old Spanish mission originally called San Antonio de Valero. Commencing with the financial crisis of 2009-2010, not only mine but also my family's dreams are shattered. I find it difficult to press on. Living by faith is strenuous. I know, however, that it is my defining moment--my moment of destiny. Grounded in solid teaching, I take a stand against overwhelming forces seemingly all around me, trusting that my pleas for help to the Most High will not fall upon deaf ears, believing that financial help will soon arrive. It is not unlike that of 1836, wherein 182 Texans resolved to take a stand against an opposing force of over two thousand heavily armed men, an overwhelming odds of ten to one. Contrary to Texas history, however, in the end, my Alamo wins!
