What we’re looking for.
Our editorial priorities identify subjects where experienced practitioners can help the smart-building systems industry work more intelligently. They are areas of current interest, not assignments or guarantees of publication.
We also welcome original proposals that fit our broader publishing program.
Integrated building systems for owners
Practical explanations for owners, facility leaders, architects, and other decision-makers who need to understand how BAS, fire alarm, security, audiovisual, nurse call, vertical transportation, energy, power, and other specialty systems contribute to the building without becoming specialists in every discipline.
Project delivery and commissioning
Cross-system scope coordination, interfaces, commissioning, turnover, and lessons from projects where technical responsibilities, life-safety boundaries, and contractual divisions collide.
Cybersecurity for smart-building systems
Clear, field-aware guidance for protecting connected building and operational technologies without losing sight of system authority, life-safety responsibilities, operations, maintainability, and project realities.
OT and IT collaboration
Books that help facilities, controls, fire alarm, security, audiovisual, clinical technology, cybersecurity, and enterprise technology teams establish workable responsibilities, interfaces, and trust.
Metering, energy, and grid interaction
Applied approaches to metering, energy management, electrification, load management, and the changing relationship between buildings and the electric grid.
Smart-building business and workforce
Estimating, sales, operations, recruiting, training, leadership, and sustainable growth for specialty contractors, integrators, manufacturers, consultants, and technical organizations.
An active article series—not a requested book
NEC 2026: Limited Energy in Practice is being developed as an evolving article and field-feedback series. It focuses on Limited Energy changes relevant across smart-building and specialty systems, the differences created by local adoption, and what practitioners are experiencing in design, estimating, installation, integration, and enforcement.
We welcome jurisdiction-specific observations, supporting public sources, and permission to contact contributors for a deeper discussion.
