As Humans’ need for comfort living takes priority, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems (HVAC)would assume more importance and priority – The number and percentage of people opting, creating and living in conditioned spaces might also serve as an index for living standards. In my search for understanding the different types of styles and configurations of HVAC systems - I finally realized that I could understand the different executions only if I work with a HVAC company. This somehow materialized – I started working for Superior air- a HVAC subcontractor engaged in providing, installing HVAC systems in San Diego City in California. My learning started with studying their installations, visiting job sites and looking at construction and approved drawings. I also had the opportunity to interact with construction supervisors, experts in HVAC systems, and construction workers. The installations I visited are mostly in commercial / office buildings and involved almost all the types mentioned in the book. To facilitate ease of understanding, the book includes maximum possible images of the systems/ lay outs. I will be extremely thankful to the readers if they could give me feedback comments and any other information/images that can be included for regular updates.

The early 21st century has seen a renewed interest in research in the widely-adopted proportional-integral-differential (PID) form of control. PID Control in the Third Millennium provides an overview of the advances made as a result. Featuring: new approaches for controller tuning; control structures and configurations for more efficient control; practical issues in PID implementation; and non-standard approaches to PID including fractional-order, event-based, nonlinear, data-driven and predictive control; the nearly twenty chapters provide a state-of-the-art resumé of PID controller theory, design and realization. Each chapter has specialist authorship and ideas clearly characterized from both academic and industrial viewpoints. PID Control in the Third Millennium is of interest to academics requiring a reference for the current state of PID-related research and a stimulus for further inquiry. Industrial practitioners and manufacturers of control systems with application problems relating to PID will find this to be a practical source of appropriate and advanced solutions.

Readers of this book will be shown how, with the adoption of ubiquituous sensing, extensive data-gathering and forecasting, and building-embedded advanced actuation, intelligent building systems with the ability to respond to occupant preferences in a safe and energy-efficient manner are becoming a reality. The articles collected present a holistic perspective on the state of the art and current research directions in building automation, advanced sensing and control, including: model-based and model-free control design for temperature control; smart lighting systems; smart sensors and actuators (such as smart thermostats, lighting fixtures and HVAC equipment with embedded intelligence); and energy management, including consideration of grid connectivity and distributed intelligence. These articles are both educational for practitioners and graduate students interested in design and implementation, and foundational for researchers interested in understanding the state of the art and the challenges that must be overcome in realizing the potential benefits of smart building systems. This edited volume also includes case studies from implementation of these algorithms/sensing strategies in to-scale building systems. These demonstrate the benefits and pitfalls of using smart sensing and control for enhanced occupant comfort and energy efficiency.
