They’re in the backwith DMD and Dalkia. She’s here tonight,just for you. We brought the person who canexplicitly answer your question, so pleasecheck in with her after, okay?” said Keller. Dalkia, according to Regional GovernmentAffairs and Community Relations Manager,Cheyenne Ernst, is under contract with thecity to operate and maintain city ownedstreetlights. Ernst was referred to as one of the expertsto address the concerns of the outspokenattendee.When asked by The Built Environmentabout how the technology used to linklighting controls to the city’s BalancedResource Acquisition and InformationNetwork (BRAIN) could emitelectromagnetic radiation via itscommunication processes, Ernst said:“Potentially, I don’t really know how thattechnology works. Someone with Ubicquiawould have, I think, answers to thosequestions about how that data actually getstranslated.”Ernst said that Ubicquia supplies the Dalkia-operated smart meters used to monitorenergy consumption for the smart cityapparatus.Dalkia is an international company basedout of France that was once named ImtechGroup. Smart meters that use electromagneticfields for real time communications and theinternet of things have been a public healthconcern of scientists internationally. BUILTENVIRONMENTA group of scientists and doctors preparedand submitted a moratorium onelectromagnetic radiation to the EuropeanUnion which as of 2023 has been signed by436 scientists and medical doctors.42 scientists and medical doctors from theU.S. are listed as signatories. According to the group’s appeal, “Numerousrecent scientific publications have shownthat EMF affects living organisms at levelswell below most international and nationalguidelines. Effects include increased cancerrisk, cellular stress, increase in harmful freeradicals, genetic damages, structural andfunctional changes of the reproductivesystem, learning and memory deficits,neurological disorders, and negativeimpacts on general well-being in humans.”Image partially generated using text to image AI.

77WHAT’S INSIDETHE 2024GOVERNMENT OFCANADA BUDGETThe Canadian government tabled its 2024federal budget on April 16. The federal budgetoutlines a broad list of spending and taxmeasures to be implemented in the comingyear. But unlike in the United States, Canadahas a parliamentary system where thegovernment in power has an effectivemajority in the House of Commons. So, whatthe government proposes is usually passedby Parliament within months of the budgetbeing presented to Parliament. There are nonegotiations with an independent Senate orHouse of Representatives to worry about; forthe current Canadian government, the onlyworry is corralling parliamentary supportfrom a small political party that lies to thepolitical left of the governing Liberals.The 2024 Canadian budget is very much anelection budget in advance of an electionsome time in later 2025. The governingLiberal Party under Prime Minister JustinTrudeau has been in office since 2015 and isbeginning to show signs of a government indecline.Generally, after eight years Canadians tire ofwhomever is in power. And current pollingreflects that, placing the Trudeau-led Liberals12 points behind the Conservative Party underleader Pierre Poilievre. In Canadian termsthat’s a big difference, although animprovement over the 20-point difference afew months back. Still, most pundits areexpecting a Conservative victory in 2025.CONTINUE READING >NAIOP EVENTCALENDARMAY 2024Copyright: Canva ProBUILTENVIRONMENTTHURSDAY MAY 23RD5:30 PM - 7:30 PM: DEVELOPING LEADERS HAPPY HOUR – VARAWINERY - CLICK HERETHURSDAY MAY 30TH11:30 AM - 1:30 PM: THURSDAY MAY 30TH – GOVERNOR UPDATELUNCHEON - CLICK HERE

85BUILTENVIRONMENTAn effort is underway to preserve and repurpose aonce-popular 1950s-era motel in the Miracle MileHistoric District of Tucson.Located at 127 W. Drachman Street, the Tucson Innwas built in 1953 and is valued by historians as astrong example of the Googie and Modernistarchitectural style that was so prevalent in the post-World War II southwest.With its front sun ray-bursting-skyward neon sign,the building has for decades been one of the mosticonic and visible structures of its kind in Tucson,serving as a motel that slowly fell on hard timesbefore being purchased in early 2018 by PimaCommunity College.The school has said that it would like to turn thestructure into offices for its education tech servicesprogram, as well as providing space for an innovationcenter and diversity program, among other uses.Now members of the school's governing board havevoted in favor of putting out a request for a developerto come up with a plan for saving and repurposing thestructure.Because PCC may not have enough funds to take onthe repurposing project itself, it is thought that aprivate developer could do that, obtaining thebuilding on a lease basis.The Tucson Inn was built at a cost of around$500,000 and underwent a $100,000 renovation adecade later. At the time of the motel's 1953 opening,the Tucson Citizen made note of its 24-hour coffeeshop, flagstone lounging terrace, and rooms featuring"record music controlled in the central office."ONE-TIME THRIVING1950S TUCSON MOTELMAY SEE NEW LIFE ASOFFICE SPACEBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 05/06/2024Copyright: Canva pro
