Buildings (ISSN 2075-5309) is an international, scientific, open access journal on building science, building engineering and architecture published quarterly online by MDPI. The current issue (Issue 4, 2014) features a special issue on Building Automation Systems.
The special issue features an article about A Semantics-Rich Information Technology Architecture for Smart Buildings (by D. Bonino, F. Corno and L. De Russis), that describes the main architectural ingredients of semantics-rich building automation systems. Practical examples, building upon the experience of the Dog Gateway project and of the Alcotra Applus.énergie, are used to describe the benefit of a model-driven approach to intelligent buildings.
