Atlas Project Support: Knowledge Management

  Atlas Project Support LLC In our previous articles, we explored the challenges and barriers to Puerto Rico’s renewable energy transition, highlighting the roles of political corruption and fossil fuel interests. In this third installment, we delve into a practical solution aimed at enhancing energy resilience amidst potential transportation and power system failures. This solution leverages an optimization-based model to strategically locate and configure electric power-generating resilience hubs, crucial for maintaining energy access during disasters. The Model: Maximizing Accessibility and Energy Satisfaction The proposed model addresses the critical need for resilience hubs by focusing on two main objectives: maximizing transportation accessibility to the hubs and ensuring the primary energy needs of communities are met through hub-generated power. This dual approach considers the limitations of energy generation capacity relative to community demands and the transportation networ

  Atlas Project Support LLC July 6, 2024 In the ever-evolving construction world, integrating technology with traditional methods has always been and will continue to be the focal point of innovation and continual improvement. As someone deeply rooted in developmental and delivery cost management processes, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformation brought about by Building Information Modeling (BIM). This convergence of the art of estimation with the transformative power of BIM has revolutionized the construction industry and highlighted the intricate dance between human intuition and technological precision. The Art of Cost Estimating Cost estimating has always been a blend of science and art. It involves meticulous data analysis and an understanding of material costs, labor rates, and project timelines. However, there is an inherent artistry in foreseeing potential challenges, factoring in contingencies, and understanding the nuances of each unique project. The experience and in

  This follow-up research builds upon our previous article, "Bridging the Gap: Political Corruption and Puerto Rico's Renewable Energy Future." We delve deeper into the intricate web of internal challenges and external influences that shape Puerto Rico's energy landscape. By examining both the internalities, such as pervasive political corruption, and the externalities, particularly the substantial influence of the fossil fuel industry, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the barriers to Puerto Rico's renewable energy transition. This investigation aligns with a social ontological approach, considering the broader social, political, and economic contexts that affect energy policy and implementation on the island. Our goal is to highlight the multi-faceted nature of these challenges and to explore potential pathways toward a sustainable and resilient energy future for Puerto Rico. hashtag # PuertoRicoEnergy hashtag # Plantbrushing hashtag # AtlasProj
