Building Automation: Control Devices and Applications

Good book to understand building Automation . Why, how, where is explained. HVAC is elaborately explained .

Well detailed and simple

I'm a Certified Plant Engineer and I've been a Facilities and Real Property Executive for more than 25 years. One of the "great" mysteries for anyone other than a controls company salesperson (which shall remain unnamed because they'd probably be censored from my review but, we all know who they are) is how to specify and buy a Building Automation System. This book actually WILL help you figure that out. There are several chapters within the book that will help you review specifications and also, even, write a "sequence of events" for your equipment. However; with all the previous stated: even though I have an engineering degree and completely understand MEP and Fire Protection (along with security and access control systems) this book is a richly illustrated primer on how ALL mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, security, access control, and elevator systems can be integrated into a BAS. Additionally, this book, as a refresher, will remind even the most experienced and qualified professional of the fundamentals of facilities infrastructure and equipment.

The quality of the explanations and illustrations in this book are unbelievably good. You almost cannot believe how they can provide such detail for the price of the book.

Good source of information

What can you say. It's a text book and it's what I wanted.
