Abstract
This chapter examines the effect of major technology trends on the use of adaptive controls in commercial and institutional buildings. Adaptive controls were originally designed to reduce the energy wasted by building lighting systems. Office buildings, in particular, were notorious for leaving lights burning all night. This conspicuous waste led lighting companies to develop lighting schedulers and occupant sensors to begin to deal with the most obvious problem. These early lighting control products formed the basis of a slowly growing lighting controls market. As digital control technology gradually supplanted analog control, manufacturers would field control systems of increasing complexity and capabilities, such as daylight harvesting systems with automated shading and demand response-enabled controllers.
