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

Richard Johnson

Sinossi

"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.

Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses...

Melvin "Bird Man Mel" Toellner,...

As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
