After an introduction to 5G and 5G Advanced, this book in detail goes through the 5G features that are vital for the support of IoT use cases. It describes how the 5G New Radio (NR) access technology has been adapted to provide cost- and energy-efficient connectivity for massive IoT and broadband IoT, as well as providing high data rates, ultra-reliability, and low latency to support immersive experience and time-critical communications. This book also discusses adaptations to support satellite communication, the future of massive IoT and how 3GPP is about to extend its support to near zero-energy and low-complexity devices and use cases. These forward-looking features will help evolve 5G and 5G Advanced toward realizing 6G visions such as a connected, sustainable, digitalized, and programmable physical world.

      Green Building: An Engineering Approach to Sustainable Construction fills a void in green building which has good textbook options for practitioners, architects, and sustainability experts, but not an engineering focused textbook focused on green building. This new text takes an engineering approach to evaluating green building techniques, systems, and materials. The book examines the built environment from inside out, looking at minimizing environmental impacts while also considering the economics and energy use and efficiency. While not a test-prep book, it will provide the knowledge foundation that will help prepare the students to take the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design accreditation exam.As students are often unclear on the evolving employment prospects in this field, particularly for the engineer, the textbook also features six case studies showing different career pathways for engineers in this arena.
