Building Automation And Control Systems Bacs Fundamentals For Room Control

Building automation and control systems (BACS) - Fundamentals for room control

Smart Building Design

How can smart technology open up new design opportunities – for the design, the execution, and the operation of buildings and for the digitalization of construction? A hitherto unusual conception of the building as a cybernetic architectural system forms the basis of this integrated design approach. The authors – architects and engineers with extensive design experience – contribute an overview of current technical components of automation and communication systems, as well as a summary of relevant laws, standards, and guidelines. Six example projects demonstrate completed applications at different scales, from a single-family residence to office buildings, and through to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall – amply illustrated in text, drawings, and photos.

Proceedings CLIMA 2022

The 14th REHVA HVAC World Congress CLIMA2022 challenges advances in technologies for smart energy transition, digitization, circularity, health and well-being in buildings. How can we create circular buildings, fully heated, cooled and powered by renewable energy? How can we design human-centered indoor environments while mastering life-cycle costs? How can we also include their integration into infrastructure for energy, health, data and education?
