Building automation has evolved from pneumatic controls to electronic control devices with significantly greater capabilities and flexibility. Today, a building automation system is a network of "intelligent" devices that controls one or more building systems, such as HVAC, lighting, and security systems. They operate cooperatively to share building information and control system devices automatically according to programmed logic. The ultimate goal is to improve productivity, comfort, safety, and security within the living or working space while maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing manual control. But these new technologies require more knowledge and skill on the part of the installer, programmer, and operator to attain the most out of a building automation system.Building Automation: Control Devices and Applications provides a solid foundation for a comprehensive training program involving building automation. It assumes very little prerequisite technical knowledge about the various building systems. It focuses on the operation, signals, and functions of the sensors, actuators, and other control equipment used in commercial buildings. But many of the control and integration concepts apply the residential market as well. The text is organized by building system. The role that each device plays in a system is clearly explained within the context of common applications. The last chapter discusses the possibilities for the interaction between multiple systems in automated buildings, along with some universal guidelines and requirements for building automation.Building Automation: Control Devices and Applications is the first book in a two-book series on building automation. The second book, Building Automation: System Integration with Open Protocols, addresses the two primary protocols for wired networks--LonWorks® and BACnet®.

This book is intended to be used as a textbook in undergraduate civil engineering and construction courses to introduce cutting edge mechanical, electrical, and computer science topics that are needed for civil and construction engineers to collaborate in inter-disciplinary automation projects. Part I introduces the basics of hardware and software technologies that are needed for implementing automation in buildings and construction. The content begins with the fundamental concepts and uses practical examples to bring out the benefits of automation through case studies that are easy to understand. No other book uniformly treats the subject of automation within the context of buildings and construction activities. While the technology needed for these two application domains are similar, the unifying principles are not well recognized. This book will bring out the fundamental principles that could form the basis of application to these two domains. For example, it will become clear that sensors, actuators, and controllers, along with smart control strategies could be used for automating tasks within buildings and on construction sites. Part II of the book will introduce key advances in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence that are significant for the intelligent control of buildings and construction equipment. Control algorithms and techniques for data analytics are explained in a form that is appropriate for non-computer science students. Each chapter contains several hands-on exercises meant to apply the principles that are covered. These include numerical problems as well as design and analysis examples. This new textbook: • Introduces hardware and software needed for automating engineering tasks • Presents examples of applications in the control of building systems • Illustrates of the use of automation for improving construction processes • Provides a lucid introduction to advanced computing concepts, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and control algorithms to construction and engineering students. It is sure to be essential reading for a growing number of courses in smart construction, building automation, robotics, intelligent buildings, and construction 4.0. Supplementary material including answers to exercises in the book will be provided on the author’s website: https://bennyraphael.com/book2022/
