English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Smart buildings

The best-laid plans for constructing smart buildings often fall victim to poor processes, contends Tom Hartman, principal at The Hartman Co., an engineering design firm. Take, for example, how buildings are heated and cooled. Most systems focus on conditioning the {building envelope}, or areas that include a half-dozen or more office areas. What's more, many systems are still designed to wash air around the exterior walls because that's where most heat loss used to occur.
