Abstract
Green and Smart Buildings technologies discussed and presented in this book are not necessarily all new and cutting edge technologies. Some of them have been available for decades. However, the adoption rates of these technologies are still very low. The list of the technologies discussed in this book, although not exhaustive, can offer a quick reference guide for building owners, designers, architects and facility managers to design and operate green and smart buildings. If the technologies discussed here can be adopted for new buildings and building retrofits, the energy, water and waste footprint of the built environment can be significantly reduced, while at the same time ensuring occupant comfort and safety with the appropriate choice of technologies.
