The future of residential building electrical installations

Arran Cameron
This is a spin-off from the discussion What is the best way to wire ceiling lights.


What do you think is the future of residential building electrical installations in 20 to 30 years time? Will they in modern and modernised houses be significantly different from what they are today or will they most likely be barely changed from what they are today?


Will consumer demand be a driving force for change or will electricians only make changes from the status quo in order to comply with updated wiring regs?

    The interference levels across medium and short wave radio has gone up a huge amount over the last 10 years or so broadband over copper fone lines is a major source and all those SMPSUs definitely contribute an awful lot of noise too. Although we can do nothing about existing units could the IET maybe recommend that theseUSB sockets have a way to shut down the PSU when the the lead is unplugged from it? Speaking with my ham radio hat on this would be a real step forward in helping to reduce the average noise level.
