Systems written in the past 5 years comply quite well. Most building systems had a long horizon and this compliance was taken into account. Some are inert to date, and just keep operating even though the dates are wrong it makes no difference to them. Year 2000 compliance only has a few places where it can cause a problem. An easy fix for most systems is to back date them to a year in the 80's with the same days of the week so you can operate quite well and buy time until the fix was done. If you go back 10-11 years you will find a year that does it. 2009 coincides with 1998 for days of the year and I use that to run a system for a few weeks ti find flaws when you run past Y2000. Simple systems can be clocked past 2000 in power off and on mode to find clock flaws. Most windows stuff complies. Legacy DOS stuff?, some good, some bad. Old COBOL/Fortran....big problems, however few buildings are on them. Bill
