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

This experimental building is a project designed in 2009 and carried out by Civil Engineering students during their graduation projects. It is designed with the idea of being a reference for the research team in the field of energy efficiency. It is an educational tool to enable students to gain an applied understanding of the building's energy issues; For data acquisition and control we used several techniques and protocols to provide students with complete information about these systems. We used KNX, MBus systems and direct connection to a central acquisition system. The KNX system controls the various components such as lighting, shutters and electrical outlets using sensors (electrical energy, humidity, CO2 levels, outdoor and indoor temperatures and luminosity). A digital interface (Node-Red - InfluxdB - Grafana) connected to the KNX system allows data to be displayed and stored for analysis by students with an educational or experimental research purpose.
