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...

Pragmatic Power (Synthesis Lectures on Digital Circuits and Systems)
by William Eccles
Pragmatic Power is focused on just three aspects of the AC electrical power system that supplies and moves the vast majority of electrical energy nearly everywhere in the world: three-phase power systems, transformers, and induction motors. The reader needs to have had an introduction to electrical circuits and AC power, although the text begins with a review of the basics of AC power. Balanced three-phase systems are studied by developing their single-phase equivalents. The study includes a loo...

This new, thoroughly revised, edition builds on the basic principles of the original text drawing in the results of considerable new research in the field. A new chapter on natural ventilation is also added and recent developments in ventilation concepts and room air distribution are also considered. The text is intended for the practitioner in the building services industry, the architect, the po...
Design-Oriented Analysis of Structures (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications, #95)
by Uri Kirsch
This book was developed while I was teaching graduate courses on analysis, design and optimization of structures, in the United States, Europe and Israel. Structural analysis is a main part of any design problem, and the analysis often must be repeated many times during the design process. Much work has been done on design-oriented analysis of structures recently and many studies have been published. The purpose of the book is to collect together selected topics of this literature and to present...
-- A day-to-day design manual that takes a particular system and converts it into a flow diagram-- Each diagram references the details associated with the individual pieces of equipment required by the system-- CD-ROM contains diagrams and details

Introduction to Solid-State Lighting
by Arturas Zukauskas, Michael S. Shur, and Remis Gaska
A thorough reference that sheds light on the promising field of solid-state lighting. Solid-state lighting is a rapidly emerging field. Light emitting diodes are already used in traffic signals, signage/contour lighting, large area displays, and automotive applications. But its greatest future lies in the possibility of applying solid-state lamps to general lighting. Solid-state lighting promises to reduce energy consumption as much as fifty percent, cut down on carbon-dioxide emission, and even...
Clay Printing (Mechanik, Werkstoffe und Konstruktion im Bauwesen, #62)
by Dennis de Witte
The research described in this thesis focuses on the production and use of additive manufactured silicate ceramic (clay) products in construction.Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a technology that facilitates realising products by selective placement of material in subsequent layers. It is a technology that emerged in the 1980's and has been adopted by many industries for prototyping and the realisation of special or individualised products, which cannot be made by use of common production process...
CP1 Heat Networks: Code of Practice for the UK (Code of Practice, #1)
by Paul Woods
This book highlights human behaviour and architectural considerations for prescriptive code requirements for emergency exits in heritage cultural centers. Closed circuit television camera (CCTV) footage from a Canadian heritage cultural centre was analyzed from three separate unannounced evacuations, where recommendations based on the first two evacuations were implemented for the third. This study aims to (1) develop a baseline for the behaviour and actions of people during the pre-movement and...
