Sommario/riassunto

In today's digital, green, and consumer driven marketplace, it is critical to be knowledgeable about the latest approaches, tools and systems that can help you seamlessly and reliably conduct building performance verification assessments. This groundbreaking book provides you with a solid understanding of the underpinnings of embedded commissioning (ECx) as the overarching building evaluation approach. You find a review of significant and emerging approaches within ECx, including product models, process models, BIM (building information modeling), laser technology based modeling, mapping betwee.

""Without question this is an important new addition to World War II                and Cold War historiography.... Highly recommended."" -- Douglas Brinkley,                author of Dean Acheson: The Cold War Years and The Unfinished Presidency: Jimmy                Carter's Journey beyond the White House""A remarkably                objective, yet sympathetic, study



of Louis Johnson's life and career. Now only                half-remembered,... Johnson was a major national figure. Colorful, aggressive,                independent-minded, egotistical, his strong views and conflicts
