Sustainable smart living with KNX

Building a more sustainable future for a smarter way of living

KNX aims to provide families with revolutionary smart energy solutions that empower proactive energy management. Monitoring exactly how much energy you consume not only helps you to reduce usage and energy bills, but you also make a conscious positive impact on our planet.

The sustainability or energy efficiency of your home is determined by several factors, like the used insulation materials, the implementation of renewable energy and your daily energy usage. Thanks to smart technology, homeowners can play an active role in reducing their energy consumption.

1. Invest in energy efficient light bulbs: LED or CFL bulbs are well worth the switch: these light bulbs last longer, greater energy efficiency and fewer toxic metals. Additionally you can make your lightning smart to reduce excessive energy consumption.
2. Install a smart meter: Smart meters are modern devices that measure your electricity usage and provide instant feedback on your consumption behavior. It’s the foundation of any modern energy management system, and the future of sustainable living!
3. Add solar panels to your roof: With the right installations and additional smart battery storage, you can become self-sustainable with little to no need for an external energy supply, and earn your investment back in just a couple of years.

You can find 7 more tips to make your home more energy efficient in our article ‘10 Tips to make your homemore sustainable’.

Whether you’re a homeowner or you’re temporarily renting, installing the right energy management devices in your living space will have a positive impact in many ways: enhanced quality of your daily life, regained control of your energy bill and, above all, a downsizing of your ecological footprint.

Living more sustainably starts with gaining awareness of your energy consumption. Smart meters are devices that track trends in your usage and provide advice, so that you can make economic choices, without sacrificing your comfort.

Electric and hybrid cars are the solution towards sustainable mobility. Equip your property with the necessary infrastructure by adding a smart charging system to your porch.

Our KNX Member ISE integrates your charging station to your KNX system, giving homeowners a broad selection of brands as well as providing updates on the usage of your loading point (for example, when and how long your neighbors charge their car).

You already own a KNX system at home, but you're looking for (new) ways to minimize your energy consumption? Good thinking, because according to Eurostat the energy use of households in the EU has increased by 6% in 2021. The increased energy consumption not only has an impact on the environment but also on your energy bills. This just shows that maximizing energy efficiency in your KNX home has multiple benefits.
