It is "a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven building rating system based on existing proven technology".
The paper deals with a feasibility study of a space nuclear reactor for planet settlements, based on a "Generation III+" technology, specifically the integral type PWR one, currently under study in several projects (e.g. IRIS, CAREM, IMR, SMART) for its simplicity, compactness and cost reduction, but mainly based on already proven technology.
If you have a tiny base, proven technology and great engagement with a vision of how that turns into something great, it's likely folks will wait on the sidelines to see how your dreams work out.
Based on established and proven technology of water/lithium bromide absorption chillers, customized single-stage and double-stage heat pump cycles adapted to specific applications can be designed, especially aiming at medium and large heating capacities of 500 kW and above.
A UK-based inventor is offering for license a small wind turbine design that uses proven technology based on high lift aircraft wing designs and commercially proven small turbine generators.
An adaptable, affordable, and sustainable wastewater treatment system powered by wind/solar energy is proposed based on proven theory and technology.
The considered plants are all based on proven parabolic trough technology, but different schemes have been analyzed: from a conventional configuration with indirect steam cycle and a heat transfer fluid such as synthetic oil or molten salts, to a more innovative arrangement with direct steam generation in the solar field.
Pros: lowest cost, sharp picture, proven technology.
Even though it's the same company that had this to say about the EPA's assessment of a possible tailings dam failure at Pebble: "Modern dam design technologies are based on proven scientific/engineering principles, and there is no basis for asserting that they will not stand the test of time".
Understanding the relationship between learning theory and technology was considered important because educational practices are rationalized based on proven learning principles and processes.
