Highly-qualified expert jury decides in DecemberIn December, a jury will select the best projects in the five categories of "International", "Publicity", "Energy Efficiency", "Youth" and "Special" from all applications received by 24 November 2017. The size and scope of the KNX installations are not decisive. The focus is instead on criteria such as the variety of included trades, flexibility and expandability, degree of automation and complexity of the installation, user-friendliness and user acceptance as well as the use of products from different manufacturers. The jury is made up of neutral experts from KNX World and KNX Association.

"Technical advances in home and building systems technology are taking place on both a large and small scale as well as all over the world. With its evaluation criteria and the fact that it is awarded for each continent in the individual categories, the KNX Award takes this into account. It is therefore open to all KNX projects worldwide. Competing for the award is worthwhile!" emphasizes KNX President, Franz Kammerl. In addition to the coveted KNX Cup, all award winners will receive a prize of € 1,000.
