Smart Buildings by Jim Sinopoli,
This review is from: Smart Buildings (Paperback)
Very fundamental concepts were presented in a very fundamental manner. Much of the technology discussed is several years old. No emerging technologies were described and no innovative solutions offered. I had hoped there would be suggestions to create a virtual, collaborative work environment throughout the various work spaces in a facility or campus. This book did not meet my expectations. If you are looking for very basic information then buy the book, or save your money and search the internet. If you are looking for advanced architectural solutions to create a true "smart building" then don't buy this book.
