Low Carbon Building Automation businesses do to attack the green – Energy Efficiency, buildings – sm

HC intelligent home network   Carbon has become a hot word in society today, it is being held in the “two sessions” in the members hot topic. Low-carbon, English as lowcarbon. Means a lower (lower) of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide) emissions. As the world’s industrial economy, the rapid increase in population, the unlimited human desire and the production life of the uncontrolled rise in the world facing increasingly serious problems of climate, carbon dioxide emissions by increasing the ozone layer is being subjected to unprecedented crisis, a global catastrophic climate change are often seen, has seriously jeopardized the survival of the human environment and health and safety, even if the man was proud of the rapid growth or expansion of GDP because of environmental pollution, climate change and “compromised.”

Pursuit of “low carbon” and sustainable development can not live without the support and cooperation of all walks of life, from the start of each industry, from every individual. Intelligent Building industry facing a “low carbon” can do?

Building energy pursuit of “low carbon” main weapon involved in the industry: building automation intelligent building management software (IBMS)

Building Intelligent Building Controls is an important part to play on the centralized management of various subsystems, decentralized control, to improve the quality of system operation, improve management and reduce the operation and management of labor intensity, the role of savings in energy consumption. Save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide users with a more comfortable environment has been pursuing. Building automation application is now increasingly being used for different sectors and the environment, there are different application solutions.

Intelligent building management software (IBMS) the successful application of software to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to provide a better means. In addition, transformation of old buildings, the transformation of the old district has been put on the agenda everywhere, which makes building a low-carbon energy to contribute more.

Improve energy conservation technology can also be involved in the industry: Integrated Cabling Security

Cabling current as of voice, data, image transmission services for the major sub weak one, although the system is running itself is not a high-energy areas, but the product manufacturing process, requires a lot of oil and colored metals and other resource consumption, so also need energy. In the manufacturing process, the only constant improvement of product structure, improve the production process, reducing the consumption of raw materials to the area of energy saving in the wiring to contribute. In addition to project construction, using high quality cabling products, can reduce the construction process of waste products, also can be understood as an aspect of energy conservation. Similarly, there are also the same energy security opportunities, improve processes, but also energy conservation. Involving use of Energy Efficient products

Industry: Lighting

Use of energy efficient products on the lighting industry is appropriate. Efficient energy-saving lamps, LED lights not only played a very good energy saving effect is also beautify the environment. High-performance LED has been widely recognized, LED or light emitting diode, LED energy saving lamp is made of high brightness White Led light source, high luminous efficiency, low power consumption, long life, easy to control, maintenance, safety and environmental protection; is a new generation Solid cold light source, light-color soft, bright, colorful, low loss, low energy consumption, environmental protection, for families, shopping malls, banks, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and various public places, his long time lighting. Efficient lighting products can save energy as “low carbon” and make due contributions.

 A Decade of Discovery


A Decade of Discovery


$3.59


 A Decade of Discovery provides a fascinating account of some of the most significant scientific discoveries and technological innovations coming out of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Laboratories. This remarkable book illustrates how the men and women of the National Laboratories are keeping us on the cutting edge. Though few Americans are familiar with the scope and scale of the work conducted at these National Laboratories, their research is literally changing our lives and bettering our planet. Through highly vivid and accessible stories, this book details recent breakthroughs in three critical areas: Energy and Environment, National Security and Life and Physical Science. It describes how this governmentfunded research has resulted in more energy-efficient buildings; new, cleaner alternative fuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions; safer, more efficient, nuclear power plants; improved responses to disease outbreaks; more secure and streamlined airport security; more effective treatments for cancer and other diseases; and astonishing discoveries that are altering our understanding of the universe and enabling scientific breakthroughs in fields such as nanotechnology and particle physics. A Decade of Discovery is truly a recent history of discovery—and a fascinating look at what the next decade holds.

 Architectural Design and Indoor Microbial Pollution


Architectural Design and Indoor Microbial Pollution


$69.99


Chemical contaminants and other forms of indoor pollution have recently raised serious concern among occupational and environmental health workers, architects and engineers, and the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Microbial pollutants in the home pose major health risks to adults, children, and particularly the immuno-suppressed, while "sick building syndrome" is a reality for many office workers. This timely book presents an interdisciplinary exploration of these problems by examining the effects of modern, energy-efficient architecture on levels of microbial contamination in air and water supplies. With the common goal of constructing a microbiologically safe environment, the contributors represent the disciplines upon whose combined efforts a solution depends: systems engineering, medicine, microbiology, environmental hygiene, and architecture. Among the topics considered are methods of contamination control in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems; the microbiologist’s role —and the techniques used— in evaluating the hygienic environment; and assessment of water systems used in health care facilities. Proposing methods for the elimination of the health problems discussed, the contributors stress the need for assessment of architectural design and subsequent preventive maintenance of buildings and their intricate heating and ventilating systems; and they show how poor building design and location affects it occupants. Architectural Design and Indoor Microbial Pollution provides public health professionals, microbiologists, and architects with an authoritative resource for assuring our comfort and safety in the hospitals, homes, and workplaces we inhabit.
