  Dear Mr. Cho,

  Thanks for your answer. I don't have this book "Heating, Cooling, Lighting- Sustainable Design Methods for Architects". So would you please you take photos of the contents in the pages and post here? Many thanks!

  Dear Mr. Chen,

  Internet transfers radio wave but fiber optic transfers light. What's the relationship between them? Many thanks!

  Well, its use is very common now, like Google fiber and AT&T fiber.
