Thus, in 2016 these challenges are having a major influence on the design, optimisation, performance measurements, operation and preservation of: buildings, neighbourhoods, cities, regions, countries and continents. The source and nature of energy, the security of supply and the equity of distribution, the environmental impact of its supply and utilization, are all crucial matters to be addressed by suppliers, consumers, governments, industry, academia, and financial institutions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book entitled ‘\u003ci\u003eSmart Energy Control Systems for Sustainable Buildings’\u003c\/i\u003e contains eleven chapters written by international experts based on enhanced conference papers presented at the Sustainability and Energy in Buildings International conference series. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to University staff and students; and also industry practioners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-07-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319848143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-52076-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 268\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45582451179660,"sku":"9783319848143","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319848143.jpg?v=1774033068","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319848143","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
