Many experienced designers think they know the motion technology options available but are often surprised by the latest developments!
As we transition to a new energy landscape where buildings must be more energy efficient, the UK is experiencing a shortage of construction sector workers with the ability to install electrical systems, which could prevent us from making any significant changes towards energy goals.
