There is considerable presence of US investors on the island in key sectors such as energy, financial services, shipping and higher education, which is solid proof of confidence in the Cyprus economy. At the same, there is a lot of untapped potential and further prospects which should be further explored. We are ready for this.»

As part of a package of incentives to promote the island’s economic recovery, investors can take advantage of attractive tax rates and a set of newly approved Cabinet incentives targeting the international high-tech industry. George Campanellas, Chief Executive of Invest Cyprus added: «Cyprus is well placed to capture a business community looking for a business-friendly jurisdiction in the EU, and this extends to the finance industry, while also catering to the needs of tech companies.»

Boston Architectural College anuncia su nueva visión y plan estratégico que resalta la innovación y amplía el acceso global a la educación en diseño orientada al futuro

BOSTON, 4 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Boston Architectural College (BAC) anunció hoy el lanzamiento de su nueva y audaz visión a través del plan estratégico «BAC to the Future». Por medio de este innovador plan, el enfoque del BAC se centrará en transformar los programas actuales y crear programas de diseño orientados al futuro, accesibles para estudiantes en los Estados Unidos y a nivel mundial.

<a…

Este plan es la culminación de los esfuerzos iniciados en 2019 encabezados por el presidente Mahesh Daas. «Esta audaz iniciativa demuestra el compromiso a largo plazo de la institución con el acceso inclusivo a la educación en diseño de clase mundial para todos los estudiantes», comentó Daas. «Nuestro enfoque se centra en liderar el camino respondiendo de manera creativa a los grandes cambios en la educación superior del sector, y aprovechar los conocimientos obtenidos durante los tiempos de la pandemia».

En el proceso colaborativo de BAC, la dirección integró estudiantes, docentes, personal, directivos y promotores creativos junto con percepciones sobre el rumbo futuro de la institución, por medio de los talleres de diseño «think wrong» y otros foros creativos, para llevar a cabo rigurosos estudios de validación estratégica y elaborar el plan. El plan a cinco años fue aprobado con gran entusiasmo por la junta directiva del BAC.

Este trabajo, extendido a lo largo de un año, derivó en un conjunto de seis declaraciones de visión:

Visualizamos cumplir nuestra misión educativa de diversidad e inclusión para ayudar a que los estudiantes puedan explotar completamente su potencial.
Visualizamos la universidad como una red global, un follaje en la nube con raíces aéreas virtuales que capturen las diferencias sociales y faciliten el aprendizaje de los estudiantes tradicionales y no tradicionales curiosos, creativos y ambiciosos, independientemente de sus identidades sociales o su ubicación geográfica.
Vislumbramos una red de flujos ininterrumpidos que impulsen a los estudiantes en los sistemas desde prekínder hasta grado 12 y en sistemas de educación superior nacionales e internacionales hacia la educación en diseño.
Imaginamos un mundo donde el conocimiento en diseño sea una cualidad esencial de los ciudadanos globales, y el pensamiento del diseño se convierta en una habilidad básica para todos, para construir una comunidad sostenible, pujante y sólida.
Ambicionamos promover el conocimiento y el pensamiento del diseño para construir una sociedad resiliente y próspera.
Visualizamos el BAC evolucionando hacia una institución sólida y creciente, y que las innovaciones educativas de BAC sean emuladas a lo largo del espectro de la educación superior.

Esta visión, combinada con diferentes estrategias y objetivos conexos, le permiten al BAC emprender nueve iniciativas fundamentales en áreas como Excelencia Académica, Justicia Social, Crecimiento Global, Emprendimiento en Diseño y otras.

Una de las primeras iniciativas, la plataforma «The BAC Cloud Canopy™», se aceleró y lanzó su primer componente llamado «The BAC Cloud Lab™» durante la pandemia del coronavirus, buscando satisfacer las necesidades emergentes de los estudiantes. Esta revolucionaria plataforma ofrece acceso en la nube a cursos, laboratorios, eventos y servicios en cualquier dispositivo compatible, independientemente del lugar del mundo donde se encuentren los estudiantes.

«Desde su fundación hace 130 años, la institución ha sido un centro neurálgico que promueve la creatividad y la innovación. Sus exalumnos, esparcidos alrededor del mundo, transforman continuamente la experiencia humana a través del entorno construido», afirmó Richard Martini, miembro de la junta y promoción B.Arch. ’84. «Hoy, bajo la dirección del presidente Daas, el BAC avanza para cumplir su misión vital de diversificar los campos del diseño. Esto no solo ejerce influencia sobre cómo abordamos la experiencia de aprendizaje global, sino que también prepara a nuestros estudiantes para elaborar soluciones sostenibles para el mundo real».

Fundado hace 131 años, el Boston Architectural College es una institución reconocida que propende por la excelencia en la educación en diseño integrada a la práctica, para miembros de diversas comunidades, y con estudiantes provenientes de 35 países. Calificada la no. 1 como Mejor Escuela de Posgrado en Potencial de Ingresos, y no. 4 como Mejor Escuela de Arquitectura con oferta de Títulos de Licenciatura en los Estados Unidos para 2020 por GradReports, el BAC ofrece programas de licenciatura y posgrados, presenciales y en línea, en arquitectura, arquitectura interior, arquitectura paisajista, estudios de diseño y educación continua. En 2005, el BAC se convirtió en la primera institución de los Estados Unidos en ofrecer un pregrado virtual acreditado en arquitectura. El BAC defiende la importancia de la admisión inclusiva, la diversidad, la innovación, la docencia permanente y el valor intrínseco de la educación, tanto académica como experiencial.

Freedom Forever expands its solar footprint across the American South

TEMECULA, Calif., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, residential solar energy installer Freedom Forever announced its expansion into the South with its newest service area in Georgia. This recent expansion comes only weeks after their expansion into North Carolina and South Carolina and adding to their established presence in Florida. The national installer aims to accommodate rapid growth and leverage the area’s desire to become a leader in solar energy.

Over the past eight years, Georgia has become one of the nation’s leading states for solar power, providing an ideal landscape to provide more homeowners with top-quality solar installation and service. In 2015, the Solar Power Free-Market Financing Act introduced legislation that makes it easier for homeowners to invest in solar by authorizing financing arrangements with private solar companies based on solar output, potentially reducing or eliminating the high upfront costs of solar panels and installation. According to SEIA, Georgia is projected to grow by 1,924 MW over the next five years.

The expansion into Georgia marks Freedom Forever’s 20th state and their fourth territory in the South. There is plenty of solar energy potential in the sunny Southern US states, but until recently, lawmakers and utility companies have been resistant to the solar revolution. Southern states have their work cut out for them regarding adopting a more robust rooftop solar program to allow customers fair compensation for the solar power they export to the grid. Policymakers will need to explore new ways to expand access to solar power, explore tax credits and offer diverse financing options such as competitive solar leasing to advance policies that unlock the South’s solar potential.

One thing is for sure, as states across the US become more open to the concept of accessible solar energy, Freedom Forever will be there, ready to help as many homeowners as possible. For more information, please visit FreedomForever.com.

About Freedom Forever:
Freedom Forever is focused on residential solar installations that deliver best-in-class Engineering, Procurement, and Construction for its dealer network. Since 2011, Freedom Forever has enabled its dealer network to succeed with a premium offering and aggressive pricing flexibility. Freedom Forever’s 25-year production guarantee provides the ultimate peace-of-mind for homeowners reluctant to make a significant investment. With Freedom Forever, homeowners know what they’re getting every time. For more information, please visit freedomforever.com

Tekce Overseas: «Bitcoin Peaked, Profit Realized in Real Estate»

ISTANBUL, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Since the Bitcoin price entered an upward trend, international investors started to seek investment areas for profit realization. In this sense, one of the most important markets was real estate.

<img…

Evaluating the developments in the market, Bayram Tekce, Chairman of Tekce Overseas, stated, «With our goal to be a pioneer in PropTech, crypto payment methods were always on our agenda. In this period, when the value of Bitcoin reached record levels, we created a significant value with the reliable and easy payment methods we offer to investors and we experienced a serious increase in demand in this regard.»

NES Ventilation Control System Delivering 97.3% Energy Savings at Cityline Sunnyvale Garage

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Monitoring at Cityline Sunnyvale’s Murphy Avenue Garage in Sunnyvale, California confirms Nagle Energy Solutions’ (NES) patent-pending, demand-control ventilation (DCV) system is limiting the energy consumed by the garage’s sizeable mechanical system to just 2.7% of its full-load capacity — all while running on a 24/7/365 basis.

The result is to cut the baseline of energy consumption by more than 273,800…

The result is to cut the baseline of energy consumption by more than 273,800 kilowatt-hours (kWh) a year — 97.3% — from the more than 281,400 kWh/year the Cityline Garage mechanical ventilation system would otherwise consume with no means of fan-motor control in place.

The Cityline Garage is continuously ventilated by seven exhaust fan motors comprising 50 horsepower. NES commissioned its innovative control system in December 2019, and since that time it has held average consumption to less than 7,600 kWh/year. In doing so, the NES system provides a recurring operational-cost savings in excess of $46,500 per year, not including future utility rate increases.

As a result, the cost to ventilate the multi-level garage on an annual basis is less than $1,300 (or $108 per month), appreciably less than $47,800/year ($4,000/month) property management would pay without the NES system in place and operating continuously.

When deployed in conjunction with proprietary NES sequencing logic, the NES control strategy routinely captures kWh and peak kW demand savings in the range of 95% to 97% and sometimes higher.

Industry research validates the NES approach. According to a recent, peer-reviewed study by engineers from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), NES’s control methodology was determined to be:

84% more energy efficient than the prevalent means of garage ventilation control currently deployed in new construction nationwide;
73% more effective than older «on-off» control systems installed throughout north America; and
98% more proficient than fan motors being always on.

«IIT’s findings confirm NES sets the pace in the garage ventilation controls industry,» notes NES Founder Frank Nagle.

The Cityline Sunnyvale Murphy Avenue Garage is part of a newly created, mixed-use neighborhood in the heart of Sunnyvale.

About Nagle Energy Solutions: Based in San Mateo, CA, Nagle Energy Solutions, LLC (http://www.nagle-energy.com) develops and distributes an innovative DCV system for commercial garages which markedly reduces energy consumption by increasing operational efficiencies.
