After completing this course, you will understand:*Control theory and how to evaluate, select, position and sequence the appropriate type of control *The electrical knowledge needed to understand controls and the use of electrical circuit drawings *The various types of valves and dampers, and their selection, installation and operation *Terminology and attributes of sensors, the selection of moisture sensors, pressure, flow, and auxiliary devices *Self-powered and system-powered controls Electric controls, control diagrams and control logic *The components of pneumatic systems and control applications diagrams *Wiring conventions, application-specific electronic controllers and how to use them in HVAC applications *The use of written specifications, schedules, and drawings to clearly identify what is to be installed, how it is to be installed, and how it is expected to operate *Direct Digital Controls (DDC) components, their inputs and outputs, and the programming of DDC routines *DDC Networks and Protocols *DDC Specification, Installation and Commissioning
This book introduces readers to two major sustainable applications of linear synchronous machines: wave energy conversion and magnetic levitation train technology.
A hard copy companion to the eLearning course that serves as a practical guide to the principles and characteristics of controls, and how to apply them in the use, selection, specification and design of controls systems.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the interdisciplinary engineering field devoted to the monitoring and assessment of structural health and durability.
Down and dirty a complete step-by-step guide to making, installing and living with beautiful, all-natural earthen floors For most of human history, people have lived in durable, comfortable buildings made from natural materials such as soil, sand, rocks and fiber.
No other resource not even the building code presents the exact code information you need, when you need it at design stage The International Building Code (IBC) is a model building code developed by the International Code Council (ICC).

Theoretical Foundation Engineering provides up-to-date, state-of-the-art reviews of the existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis.
The key principles of designing a pleasant, comfortable and healthy eco-home, with a foreword written by HRH The Prince of Wales, now King Charles III.
Down and dirty - a complete step-by-step guide to making, installing and living with beautiful, all-natural earthen floors Poor heat and moisture management are the enemies of durable, comfortable, and efficient housing, and good building design and construction starts with a solid understanding of good building science.
A comprehensive study of the oyster shell building material of the South Carolina LowcountryBeaufort, South Carolina,is well known for its historical architecture, but perhaps none is quite as remarkable as those edifices formed by tabby, sometimes called coastal concrete, comprising a mixture of lime, sand, water, and oyster shells.
