Since the early 1600s when a Dutch engineer invented the world’s first regulator for keeping incubators heated at a constant temperature to keep eggs warm and hatch them into baby chicks, the automation of commercial buildings has come a long way. With the advent of DDC, the internet, multiple protocols, and the cloud, building controls advanced even further in its ability to improve building performance and occupant comfort.
