There are way too many manufacturers of economizers for that to be a reason. I would be surprised if there is a manufacturer of HVAC equipment that doesn't make them. It's basically just a box with a few (usually two) dampers on it, fairly simple.
I wouldn't be surprised if the reason for the objection is not the economizer requirement, but rather either a move to delay the new version of the standard so they have longer before they have to comply with what I would guess are more expensive requirements to implement, or to set up an attack on a different prescriptive part of the standard. Also, the proposed rule does not always require use of an economizer, according to TFA- if they follow the rules in other subsections they would not have to follow this rule. The "public protest" part of this sounds very odd to me.
If they could add something personally useful it would be more attractive. I wouldn't mind having this chip if they also added a CO sensor, maybe a smoke sensor or a general 'air quality' (CO2? ozone?) indicator that could be read directly from the phone. I also wouldn't mind having one on my car, and able to command the hvac system (i.e. change to inside air, or modify fan speed).
What he actually said is they will support it in version (current + 1). This was interpreted as version 15. When version 15 is out, it will be supported in version 16. And so on...
I think we should greet it with open arms and set up McDonald's and Starbuck's franchises as soon as we can to show it that we welcome it as a neighbor!
That will only greatly increase its mass and make it more dangerous!
Well, since the man-made clocks still rely on natural phenomena (just different phenomena than a pulsar) I don't understand why a knowledgeable person would have that motivation. Perhaps I just answered my own question.
Simple solution- stop showering and brushing your teeth. No one in the break room will slow down your departure, you will still get to smell horrible (except the smell may linger less) and have nasty breath like a smoker, and you'll have a nice cup of tea (maybe filled with healthy antioxidants). Best of both worlds.
Seriously though, I did overhear in a bookstore, one patron telling another, "look, they turned the LOTR movie into a book!". Then again it was 1/2 price books, which is kind of the Walmart of the book world.
Was it the 'movie version' of the LOTR, with the story converted to dialog from the movie and 20 glossy pages of pictures in the middle? I've seen such atrocities, though I can't recall if it was for LOTR or just other movies. I can see how, through shock and disgust, one might utter such a line not realizing how it would sound out of context.
He could probably get some flashing to fit around it- it's not too different in diameter from holes common in roofs, i.e. for fan exhaust. The methodology for sealing holes like this is well established. In many climates, the biggest problem would be freezing temperatures causing the bottle to burst and shower bleached water into the room, followed by a cold breeze from the new hole in the roof. That could be solved by filling the bottle with a different clear liquid with a lower freezing point, like mineral oil or alcohol, whatever transmits the light best. I would think that in structures where installing this would be feasible, you wouldn't be concerned about the heat-pipe aspect of the bottle. The purpose-made devices probably have a neck long enough to fit through an insulated roof, which is another aspect where a bottle would fail.
Poor guy can't even go live in a cave, due to the threat of Radon. Seriously, if someone is that worried about the toxins in their house they should open their window and exchange them for the toxins outside their house.
...leading one of its developers to claim: 'In the long run, many small, power-efficient and cooperating systems are going to replace the so far used, heavy weighted ones.'
Underwriters Laboratories is great, but other companies do not have to use their safety standards, i.e. if they think they will make more money by ignoring UL then they will. The negative effects to consumers may not be evident to them until well after their purchase, so a company may have no incentive to follow safety guidelines. Having the government enforce safety standards forces every company to comply with them. Maybe not a perfect system, but better than the alternative.

I think most people who frequent this site would be more embarrassed about getting that virus.

... and these 1$ things are meant to replace the poor dead person.
Great, more outsourcing. This will not be well received.
Don't forget there's a FAQ:

Lots of other useful info there too.

Hey, a joke that I understand AND swooshes over my head (followed by the prototype)...
Never, ever deposit money into an ATM in that manner, especially a Diebold ATM.
If you don't deposit any money, will it still count your votes?

No, they patented 'break'.

Maybe you would be claiming a 128 without smoking...
...and I came up to be 118 and I smoke.
... and wouldn't be writing sentences like that.
Someone else explain the concept of 'average', I'm going out for a pick...

Have you had your cigarettes today?
I can see this replacing "You must be new here" in many, many responses.
Am I the only one who tried to watch the YouTube video in TFA in text mode? You would think they would try to coordinate some of these...
I've considered throwing a brick through the front glass on city hall ... < snip >... spending ridiculous amounts of money on stupid, wasteful things.
Like new windows? Maybe you'd be better off just leaving a playstation on their doorstep.
In this one, the aliens come back with a different OS, and now running Antivirus!
They're running Windows? So this will be a short film?

They're imagining the Beowulf clusters for us...
Someone, somewhere, will read this while drinking a beer and a shot, and think "what's a gateway drug?"
