Abstract

Conventional prediction techniques have not performed well in anticipating changes in building services technology. An alternative theory based on the concept of a technology trajectory offers a better retrospective account. Used prospectively, this theory highlights the future role of integrated management system technologies, the vertical integration of markets, and the need for more effective focused interventions.
