Building Automation: Control Devices and Applications

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

Helped me out in my EST class.

Good source of information

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.

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

Very useful book but lacks info and sample pictures of the control software
