Features

  • Explains the basics of systems' interoperability and how they relate to systems integration
  • Provides an overview of transmission methods and frequently used protocols, including European and Canadian standards
  • Includes contributions from other experts in the field who present related subjects from different angles
  • Uses examples and case studies to takes readers beyond networking of individual systems toward global integration of facilities systems and into interoperable data management systems

    • Summary

    Facilities increasingly rely on computerized systems to optimize their buildings' systems operation and reduce the costs of maintenance and management. Therefore, facility managers and engineers must rise to the challenge of a new discipline-systems networking and integration-as more and more computerized systems become implemented.
