Description détaillée

Energy Efficiency

The usage of automated functions already save energy in every installation. Especially the usage of KNX has a lot of potential for further energy savings, which can contribute to a better environmental footprint. Be extending KNX to more functions and applications, energy savings of up to 60% can be realised. Thanks to the flexibility of KNX, these functions can easily be implemented in this installation

Innovation

Smart homes and buildings are always an upgrade in comparison to a conventional installation. Not only automated functions and a higher level of comfort contribute to a higher living standard, but also the possibility to be ready for coming innovations. Thanks to the usage of KNX, the door has been opened to integrate new innovative solutions, using the worldwide STANDARD for home and building control.

Description des clients

The project at Odisee's test house, in partnership with KU Leuven, aims to enhance energy efficiency. It involves implementing KNX home automation and Home Assistant, focusing on creating an 'eco-mode' for lighting and HVAC management to reduce energy consumption while ensuring comfort. The key objective is seamless integration of this eco-mode using KNX and Home Assistant, with success measured by decreased energy usage and improved efficiency compared to current levels. The project is slated for completion by the 2023-2024 academic year, providing a clear timeline for its execution and deployment.
