This document discusses home automation and building automation. It provides examples of basic home systems from the 1950s with no energy management or sensors compared to more advanced integrated systems today. The document outlines examples of automated heating and lighting control processes. It also provides two examples of hypothetical homes, John's house and Jane's office, that integrate renewable energy sources, energy storage, and different heating systems based on outdoor conditions and energy availability.
