Smart Buildings – a practical guide for decision-makers
The book Smart Buildings: A Tool for Increasing Energy Efficiency, Comfort, Safety and Productivity in Organisations explains why building automation should be considered as part of a building's long-term strategy, not as an optional collection of gadgets.
It is written for investors, building owners, managers, designers and anyone who wants a clearer view of how technical systems influence operating costs and user experience. The original publication is in Slovenian; this English page introduces its themes rather than claiming that an English edition is available.
Topics covered
- How technical buildings affect business performance and occupant comfort.
- Practical design decisions at the start of new-build and renovation projects.
- Why integration of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and energy measurements matters.
- Typical investor mistakes and ways to establish a clear brief.
- Energy management, maintenance and performance over the building's lifecycle.
Who benefits from the guide?
Managers can use it to ask better questions about operational expenditure and measurable outcomes. Investors can use it to compare alternatives before committing to detailed design. Engineers can use the concepts to communicate the value and limitations of technical options to non-specialists.
