{"product_id":"the-50-billion-leak-charles-nehme-9798276875583","title":"The $50 Billion Leak: Stopping Energy Waste Through Intelligent Building Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the hidden crisis costing our global economy billions of dollars every single year: the silent, insidious drain of \u003cb\u003eenergy waste\u003c\/b\u003e from the built environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor decades, we have designed, constructed, and operated buildings that function like sieves, hemorrhaging power through outdated mechanical systems, uncontrolled air flows, and analog management practices. We treat buildings as static consumers, relying on opaque monthly utility bills that offer no real insight into where, when, or why energy is truly being wasted. This is the \u003cb\u003e$50 Billion Leak\u003c\/b\u003e, and it persists because, until now, the technology required to plug it has been fragmented, proprietary, and complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a direct response to that challenge. Drawing on over 30 years of global experience in high-performance MEP consulting, my goal is to provide a comprehensive, actionable roadmap for transitioning from an energy-wasting legacy facility to a \u003cb\u003ehigh-performing, intelligent asset\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe will bridge the gap between the mechanical engineer's equations and the facility owner's bottom line. We will move past superficial efficiency measures to harness the true power of \u003cb\u003eIntelligent Building Systems (IBS)\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eIoT connectivity\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eArtificial Intelligence (AI)\u003c\/b\u003e. These technologies are not merely costly upgrades; they are the essential tools that transform energy data into economic value, environmental responsibility, and superior occupant comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is time to stop flying blind. It is time to make the invisible visible. It is time to plug the leak and secure a sustainable, profitable future for the buildings that define our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Nehme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798276875583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Charles Nehme","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083836203263,"sku":"9798276875583","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-50-billion-leak-charles-nehme-9798276875583","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
