What is a direct digital control?

A direct digital control (DDC) is a system used in building automation to monitor and manage HVAC, lighting, and other systems through digital processors. DDC systems use microprocessors and software to provide precise control, improve energy efficiency, and allow remote operation and troubleshooting. Professionals working with DDCs often need knowledge of control algorithms, networking, and relevant industry standards.
