Intelligent Buildings provide stimulating environments for people to work and live in and operate with systems that provide communications and conveniences for various functions to take place, however society and building owners or tenants demand more than this. Buildings are long-term assets so need to be economical, durable, flexible, adaptable and sustainable. There are many stakeholders involved in the process of building a new intelligent building or updating an old one. There is also a need to recognize the pace of change not only in technology but also in society. Intelligent Buildings

This book examines the processes available for the various stages of treatment of wastewater, beginning with the preliminary processes of screening, grit removal and storm water separation and ending with tertiary treatment and sludge disposal. Key coverage includes: considerable emphasis on the biological processes that are used for the oxidation of BOD and the removal of nitrogen and phosphorous; options for the treatment of industrial wastewater, including anaerobic digestion, physico-chemical processes and enhanced oxidation are also discussed; and what the future may bring and how this ma

The first volume in the ECI Pricing System series, this book deals specifically with the fabrication and erection of pipework. Pipework pervades all building and construction work and the cost of installation is a highly significant factor in total project cost and schedule performance - especially in the construction of process plants where it can amount to 15% of total costs. This document offers a structured approach to the contracting of such work which maximizes clarity for contractors and owners alike. The ECI Pricing System will reduce bidding costs for owners and contractors alike and

"Principles of Pavement Engineering" offers sound engineering understanding to those learning, practicing or researching in this field. It is concerned with the basic principles underlying material behavior, pavement design and maintenance, and will allow the reader to move beyond a mere following of design standards and become able to tackle problems outside the scope of such requirements. This book concentrates on principles rather than current (and therefore transient) standards. It cuts across the subjects of asphalt and concrete. It includes both new pavement design and maintenance. It in

Designers’ Guide to EN 1997-1 presents a detailed guide to the new Geotechnical Design Eurocode. As such it gives an invaluable insight into a code that, for the first time, provides a comprehensive design philosophy that is not only applicable to all forms of geotechnical problems but also shares a common philosophy with the design methodology for structures of all the commonly encountered construction materials. Throughout, the book describes and explains the many unique features of ground engineering that require special design attention to ensure safety and adequate performance. Comp
