BACnet Engineering and Protocol Design - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Summary

"BACnet Engineering and Protocol Design"Comprehensive and meticulously structured, "BACnet Engineering and Protocol Design" is the definitive resource for understanding the technical foundations and modern applications of the BACnet protocol in building automation systems (BAS). Beginning with a thorough historical and conceptual overview, the book explores BACnet’s evolution, its regulatory standing as an international standard, and practical use cases that illustrate its critical role in integrating and managing smart building technologies. Comparisons with alternative protocols such as LON, Modbus, and KNX, as well as detailed architectural discussions, contextualize BACnet’s enduring relevance in today’s interconnected environments.Delving deep into the protocol’s engineering mechanisms, the book guides readers through BACnet’s object-oriented data model, application-layer services, and networking principles. Topics such as dynamic object discovery, property and alarm management, advanced transport methods, and the architectural intricacies of BACnet/IP are covered with clarity. Robust chapters on security provide a contemporary treatment of threat modeling, risk mitigation, and the secure evolution of BACnet through features like BACnet/SC. Practical considerations for high-availability, diagnostics, and performance optimization ensure this text is as valuable for practitioners deploying mission-critical BAS as it is for developers designing robust protocol stacks.Rounding out its technical depth, the book addresses BACnet’s integration with IT environments—cloud platforms, web services, and AI—through real-world case studies and future-oriented discussions. Readers will gain insight into trends such as semantic data modeling, digital twins, green building compliance, and the growing impact of open source and community-driven innovation. Whether used as an engineering manual, a reference for protocol designers, or a strategic guide for enterprise integration, "BACnet Engineering and Protocol Design" offers an authoritative and forward-looking perspective on the intelligent buildings of today and tomorrow.

Before The Big Bang - The Origin...

Laura Mersini-Houghton

A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists
What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it.
Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family.
The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior -...

David Hone

Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
 
 
 
David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
 
 
 
Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.
