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.

    What if we could love the planet as much as we love one another?
   
"Warm, wise, and overflowing with generosity, this is a love story so epic it embraces all of creation. Yet another reminder of how blessed we are to be in the struggle with elders like David and Tara.” – Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis
   
What You Won’t Do for Love is an inspiring conversation about love and the environment. When artist Miriam Fernandes approaches the legendary eco-pioneer David Suzuki to create a theatre piece about climate change, she expects to write about David’s perspective as a scientist. Instead, she discovers the boundless vision and efforts of Tara Cullis, a literature scholar, climate organizer, and David’s life partner. Miriam realizes that David and Tara’s decades-long love for each other, and for family and friends, has only clarified and strengthened their resolve to fight for the planet.
   
What You Won’t Do for Love transforms real-life conversations between David, Tara, Miriam, and her husband Sturla into a charmingly novel and poetic work. Over one idyllic day in British Columbia, Miriam and Sturla take in a lifetime of David and Tara’s adventures, inspiration, and love, and in turn reflect on their own relationships to each other and the planet. Revealing David Suzuki and Tara Cullis in an affable, conversational, and often comedic light, What You Won’t Do For Love asks if we can love our planet the same way we love one another.
