Extending and Improving Your Home
by M J J Billington and Clive Gibbs
Written for small builders and tradesmen such as bricklayers and carpenters, as well as householders wanting to provide more space and enhanced living conditions without the substantial cost of moving house. While there are many books that deal with the construction aspects of extending a house, there are few sources that combine the planning, construction and regulatory aspects into one easily accessible source. Extending and Improving a Home meets that need. By focussing on specific building...
Eine Erhohung der Kostensicherheit fur Investoren von Bauobjekten setzt eine Verbesserung der Kostentransparenz zwingend voraus. Das Buch zeigt, dass es durchaus moglich ist, in den Phasen der Projektdefinition und Vorplanung Ergebnisse zu erzielen, die keine eklatanten Abweichungen zur Kostenfeststellung aufweisen. Ausserdem wird herausgestellt, dass der Architekt seine gesamte "Kostenplanung" immer an den jeweiligen Zielvorstellungen des Investors hinsichtlich Disposition einmaliger zu laufend...

Building Automation (Signals and Communication Technology)
by Hermann Merz, Thomas Hansemann, and Christof Hubner
Modern buildings are increasingly equipped with actuators and sensors, communication, visualization and control systems. This textbook provides an overview of industrial communication systems and stimulates a basic understanding of network and bus systems for the automation of buildings. After an introduction to EIB/KNX, LON und BACnet technologies, the authors illustrate how these systems can be utilized for specific applications, like air conditioning or illumination. This book assumes only a...
Enhanced Building Information Models (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Umit Isikdag
This book explains how to combine and exploit sensor networks and internet-of-things (IoT) technologies and Web-service design patterns to enrich and integrate Building Information Models (BIMs). It provides approaches and software architectures for facilitating the interaction with (and between) BIMs through Web services, and for enabling and facilitating the fusion of the information residing in such models or of information acquired from IoT technologies. The proposed software architectures a...
