Building automation systems monitor and control a building's lighting and mechanical systems. They operate in roughly half of all buildings of over 100,000 square feet in the U.S. Those building automation systems are now being wired to talk to utilities, so the owners and occupants can participate in demand response and energy efficiency programs. Things are changing at light speed in the building automation space, as the links in this section attest.
