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 office of the firm SPHERA Sustainability Consulting is a clear example that, regardless the size, actions can be implemented in the search for sustainability. A prove of that is that it became the first project in Central and South America to obtain the LEED v4 Platinum certification, the highest possible. The use of the KNX protocol in this project, proves that the conjunction between open standards with a widely spread certification, such as LEED, can impact in markets traditionally dominated by proprietary systems.
