The University of Denver’s Burwell Center Marks Green Ideas’ 14th LEED Platinum Project

DENVER – October 13, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Green Ideas Building Science Consultants is excited to announce that its recent project, The Burwell Center for Career Achievement, has achieved LEED Platinum-level certification. The accomplishment marks Green Ideas’ 14th LEED Platinum-level project and its 106th successful LEED project overall.

The Burwell Center, which is part of the University of Denver in Colorado, is the first LEED Platinum-certified building on the campus. At 22,904 square feet, the three-story building includes extensive daylighting with views to the surrounding campus, superior energy efficiency, and ergonomic workspaces for computer users … all contributing to a healthy occupant user experience.

Some of the sustainable strategies implemented to achieve LEED certification include:

• Using low-emitting materials to reduce the harmful effect of VOCs
• Capturing and managing 100% of stormwater onsite to replicate natural hydrology
• Incorporating cool roof strategies to reduce the urban heat island effect
• Using native and adaptive landscaping to reduce the amount of potable water needed for irrigation

Other Green Ideas LEED Platinum projects include ASU Biodesign Building B, NAU Applied Research & Development Facility, Arizona Game & Fish Department HQ, NOSC at Luke Air Force Base, Scottsdale’s EL Dorado and Cactus Acres Fire Stations, and the BASF Near-Zero Energy home in Patterson, New Jersey. A complete list of Green Ideas’ projects can be found here.

“Green Ideas is proud to have worked with such an integrated project team on the Burwell Center,” said Green Ideas President Charlie Popeck upon receiving the LEED Platinum certification. “Congratulations is in order to the entire team, including University of Denver, Lake Flato Architects, PCL Construction, Shears Adkins Rockmore (SAR+) Architects, and KL&A Engineers and Builders.”

123SignUp’s seminal event and association management software has been sunsetted, paving the way for a new solution in EZSignUp.

WOODBURY, N.Y. – October 13, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

123SignUp, an event and association management software, has been sunsetted to make way for a new online registration solution: EZSignUp. EZSignUp is the latest product to join the suite of solutions from EZFacility, a global leader in management software for the health, fitness, and sports industries.  

“After years of partnership with membership organizations and association professionals, we’re excited to offer the community a more modern, feature-rich solution,” said Bryant Strozinsky, President of EZFacility.   

Founded in 1999, 123SignUp’s software began as a prototype designed for a single association. “At the time, an integrated, web-based membership management and event registration solution was an innovative endeavor,” explained EZFacility’s R&D Director Michael Vidal. “But eventually, technological advancement outpaced what was possible on the original platform.”  

Faced with technical challenges and the aftereffects of the global coronavirus pandemic, EZFacility began sunsetting 123SignUp and transitioning clients to EZSignUp in late 2021.

When combined with EZFacility’s membership management platform, EZSignUp offers many of the same features as 123SignUp — as well as several new ones. Users can manage event registrations, members, payments, communications, schedules, and more from a single platform.   

Beyond association management, EZSignUp appeals to a wide range of industries. Sports and fitness facilities, corporations, clubs, and nonprofits can all create professional-looking online forms in minutes. Some specific areas where EZSignUp can be of service include races, tournaments, camps, sports leagues, and community events. The tools make it easy to collect registrations and payments for these events, plus many more.  

“We’re grateful to all of the former 123SignUp clients and employees who had a hand in the past 20 illustrious and groundbreaking years,” said Strozinsky. “Now that these clients have officially joined the EZFacility family, we look forward to continuing to offer them innovative solutions to attract, manage, and engage their customers.”   

About EZSignUp  

EZSignUp, a product of EZFacility, is an event registration and management software solution. EZSignUp gives users a platform to manage seamless online registration from start to finish, while also simplifying marketing and communication efforts. For more information, visit ezsignup.com or call 516-719-7000.

EZFacility, Inc., a division of Jonas Software, is a global leader in scheduling, management, and membership solutions for the health, fitness, and sports industries.

DARK MATTER, on view through April 2, 2023, includes a selection of the artist’s most celebrated series

MADISON, Wis. – October 13, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

DARK MATTER an exhibition by British artist Faisal Abdu’Allah, is now on view at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA). The exhibition explores personal identity, cultural representation, and self-determination.

DARK MATTER, open through April 2, 2023, includes a selection of the artist’s most celebrated series, as well as a reconstruction of Garden of Eden (2003/2022), an architectural installation the artist created in collaboration with renowned architect Sir David Adjaye. It is the first time that Garden of Eden will be exhibited in the United States. This interactive work separates visitors based on genetic traits—in this case, eye color. With Garden of Eden, Abdu’Allah points to the privileges conferred to certain people based on the nuances of their genetic matter. 

In other works, Abdu’Allah uses human hair—a carrier of DNA—and focuses on the ritual of cutting hair. Abdu’Allah is also a trained barber, a profession he has fully integrated into his artistic practice, most notably through his Live Salon performances (2006-present). During each Live Salon session, he provides free haircuts to willing participants and engages them in open-ended conversations about issues surrounding contemporary social identity and representation. 

In Hairtraits (2016-present), Abdu’Allah uses participants’ actual hair, which he blends into a fine powder to render their portrait on paper. The artist explains, “Essentially, it brings their DNA, their identity, into the work. Our hair carries a trace of who we are, and it is extremely political. In the history of post-colonialism, the straighter your hair was, the higher up on the chain of respect you were.” 

As a prelude to DARK MATTER, a stone counter-monument titled Blu³eprint was installed outside the Museum in February 2022. Abdu’Allah first conceived of the sculpture several years ago in response to debates about the role of monuments and their removal from public view. 

DARK MATTER was organized by former MMoCA Curator of Exhibitions Leah Kolb. Presenting Sponsorship for DARK MATTER has been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Faisal Abdu’Allah is a British-born, Wisconsin-based artist and barber. He studied in London at the Royal College of Art. He is Professor of Printmaking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2019 Mayor of London Award, 2016 Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant Program for Painters and Sculptors, 2012 Mayors prize for sustainability for his film Double Pendulum, Decibel Visual Artist Award, London, and First Prize at the Tallinn Print Triennial, Estonia.

Abdu’Allah is an Honorary Professor at the University of Bedfordshire (UK). In 2021, he was named the Chazen Family Distinguished Chair in Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

ABOUT MMoCA

The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art offers free daily admission. The Museum includes four galleries and The Shop, a space to provide interactive contemporary art experiences and educational workshops to the community.

MMoCA’s galleries are open Thursday-Sunday from 12-6 p.m. Please visit mmoca.org to learn more.

AromaTru’s advanced technology creates a unique aromatherapy experience where anyone can diffuse four essential oils directly from the bottle, and Wi-Fi-enabled app connectivity allows for the creation and scheduling of custom fragrance blends

LOS ANGELES – October 13, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Ideal Living, a global leader in health and wellness solutions that include air purification, water purification, and nutritional supplements, has announced AromaTru, a new brand that is focused on improving the ease and benefits of aromatherapy and has introduced its waterless new app-powered essential oil diffuser AromaTru.

AromaTru’s exclusive diffusion technology disperses an ultra-fine mist of essential oils directly from their bottles through a waterless process known as atomization. Featuring a unique, patent-pending carousel that allows users to diffuse up to four essential oils at a time, AromaTru allows complete fragrance creation and flexibility. Unlike traditional diffusers, AromaTru does not require the user to count or measure essential oil drops, nor does it require constant cleaning when they change oils. Because of its advanced waterless technology, it is free from the risk of mold and of contaminants that can be found in water.

AromaTru can be operated by the operating panel directly from the device or can also be connected to the AromaTru Smart App through Wi-Fi for additional benefits. The AromaTru Smart App allows for the remote creation and scheduling of custom blends. Users can select an energizing blend for morning wake-up and a relaxing blend for the end of day. AromaTru includes a mood-enhancing light ring to complete a spa-like experience. 

AromaTru also offers its own comprehensive line of USDA Organic or Wildcrafted essential oils curated by Expert Advisor Gabriel Mojay, co-chair of International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists (IFPA). All AromaTru essential oils and oil collections are ethically sourced and sustainable.

“AromaTru brings the power of nature into your home through the alchemy of aromatherapy and modern technology. I began this journey because I wanted to use essential oils to make my home and office smell better, to lift me up and calm me when it was time to relax. But when I started looking at what was available, I was shocked at how unsanitary and unsophisticated essential oil diffusers are. I wanted to create a safe, clean alternative so you can fill the air you breathe with pure, safe essential oils at any time of the day or night,” said Peter Spiegel, founder and co-CEO of AromaTru and Ideal Living.

About Ideal Living

Ideal Living’s mission is to use the power of plants and science to create independently tested and verified products that promote proactive self-care and support optimum health. Ideal Living believes everyone has a right to pure water, clean air and a solid foundation for wellness.
