On a legal pad, a controls package looks like simple addition. Task tuning knocks off 20%. Occupancy sensors, another 30%. Daylight harvesting, say 20% more.

It won’t be long before fossil fuel-powered vehicles are the rarity, which raises a question: Where will all these EVs recharge their batteries?
