They have it right now where you need at least two photoelectric sensors for a room for the two daylight zones. So when the sun rises/sets and enters the room more or less, the rows of lights in that area are adjusted properly. More conduit, more wire, more controls, more everything.

The new codes add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the price of a building
Not to mention huge barriers to entry. Where I live shit like this is causing a housing crisis: It's literally uneconomic to build new houses and the existing stock is being regulated out of existence. The last appartment I moved out of had to be knocked into the one next door to make it legal to rent again, and the price of the new place (which I found only weeks before my moving out date) was €100 more expensive. It's €200 more expensive now.

That is exactly what will happen. We are troubleshooters. That's how we got this far. We see a problem, we find a solution. Sometimes the solution is brilliant, sometimes it's "hold my beer." Regardless, we'll come up with something. There's no way I'd put up with my stuff getting turned off in my office without me doing it intentionally. The only smart use of that kind of thing that I've seen is my UPS, which will turn off all of the other attached devices when the main device's load drops to almost zero.
