The most  important aspect of an intelligent building is the building systems,  such as electrical services, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning  systems, vertical transportation systems, and life safety systems,  which must operate intelligently and efficiently to enhance the  activities of the occupants. \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Building Systems\u003c\/em\u003e  explains what already exists in a modern intelligent building and  describes what is currently being developed by researchers to improve  human comfort, working efficiency and energy performance for buildings  in the 21st century. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Building Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is divided into three parts. The  first part gives a quick review of the structure, terminology, layout  and operating principles of most standard modern building systems. The  second part introduces the background material necessary to understand  intelligent building systems, including information on electronics  technology, fundamental mathematics, and techniques in artificial  intelligence and signal processing. These first two parts are the  foundation for the final part, which consists of research works  carried out by the authors and other researchers in the application of  artificial intelligence to building systems. The technologies  presented will encourage readers to envision new and innovative ideas  on possible future applications. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Building Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is relevant to practitioners and  researchers in the area of architectural science and engineering,  electrical and mechanical services and intelligent buildings. It may  also be used as a text for advanced courses on the topic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792384915\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5019-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 175\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312080081036,"sku":"9780792384915","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792384915.jpg?v=1771517053","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792384915","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
