Smart Buildings and Cities with Remote Sensing and GIS

<p>The built environment is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the integration of cutting-edge geospatial technologies. <i>Smart Buildings and Cities with Remote Sensing and GIS </i>serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating this transformation and bridges the gap between traditional architectural and planning practices and the innovative possibilities of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS). </p><p> The book demonstrates how architects, planners, and decisionmakers can use GIS and RS to design smarter, context-aware, and eco-friendly urban spaces. It explores innovative approaches for architecture, focusing on geospatial site analysis, net-zero energy building designs, heritage preservation, innovative virtual campus planning methodologies and even futuristic concepts like habitat design on the lunar surface. </p><p>Key features: </p><p>• Brings together contemporary geospatial technologies and their applications to address the challenges and opportunities in designing smart buildings and cities.</p><p>• Provides actionable solutions for professionals, researchers, and policymakers.</p><p>• Includes global contributions that provide diverse perspectives on smart city and building applications.</p><p>• Highlights how geospatial data-driven insights can revolutionize decisionmaking processes in urban planning and building design.</p><p>The work is designed for postgraduate students and researchers in the departments of architecture, planning, and geomatics, geoinformatics, software engineering.</p>
