Embedded Commissioning of Building Systems

In today's digital, green, and consumer driven marketplace, AEC (Architecture, engineering and construction) professionals are looking for sophisticated approaches, tools and systems to help them seamlessly and reliably conduct building performance verification assessments. This groundbreaking book provides a solid understanding of the underpinnings of embedded commissioning (ECx) as the overarching building evaluation approach. Practitioners find a review of significant and emerging approaches within ECx, including product models, process models, BIM (building information modeling), laser technology based modeling, mapping between process and product models, building codes, and data access and exchange standards. Moreover, this forward-looking resource provides details on the latest research findings in the areas of sensor networks, value based design, fields tools and AR/AV methods, just-in-time technologies, and wearable computers.
