10.7 Summary
Digital control of HVAC systems eventually may replace electronic and pneumatic systems. If there is a risk with this technology it is that designers may try to implement control schemes that are unnecessarily complicated, confusing the building operator.
A promising aspect of digital control is the possibility of developing adaptive configurable controllers that can improve system stability and performance. These configurable controllers can be thoroughly tested and debugged as part of their development.
