Energy-Smart Buildings intends to provide a brief research source for building technology and regulations in terms of energy efficiency, as well as discussing fundamental aspects and cutting-edge trends for new buildings and retrofitting the current building stock. Additionally, sources of renewable and sustainable energy production and storage are reviewed, with case studies of such systems on buildings in a cold climate.

It is economically and socially advantageous to reduce the cost of maintaining the internal environment of a building by measurement and control of various parameters, allowing the optimisation of building environments to reduce energy wastage and improve comfort. This requires sensors to provide live data monitoring from the building’s environment that can be used to trigger interventions to maintain the desired environment. Significant advancements in the fabrication of semiconductors and smart algorithms have made it possible to design and develop smart sensors. Furthermore, the use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) for gathering data, and logical methods for contextual interpretation and assessment allows smart sensor networks to also monitor the wellbeing of the people within the building environment.

After reducing the energy demand of the building through optimizing the building envelope and reducing the energy consumption by optimizing the HVAC systems, the energy consumption of the building can be further reduced by implementing a BCS. This chapter focuses on solutions and technologies that can monitor and control the energy use of the building, discussing the challenges and benefits from a BCS and the interaction between the system and the user. The overall description of a smart sensor network for buildings will also be described.

This volume provides industry professionals, researchers and students with the most updated review on modern building ideas, and renewable energy technologies that can be coupled with them. It is especially valuable for those starting on a new topic of research or coming into the field.
