Detailed Description
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.

Customers Description
The engineering calculations for the rooms were double the capacity of the grid’s availability. Mathematical models calculate the actual power required for room A/C. The electronic system controls the A/C power by continuously changing the A/C setpoint thus changing the inverter’s curve. A specially developed smart room occupation system guarantees minimal losses. Temperature is monitored at many points for maximum comfort. In sleep mode A/C air flow is automatically chosen. The smart touch switches chosen are all having embedded temperature measurement. Lights and A/C are entering energy efficiency mode even if all the guests are resting at the balcony. Rooms lighting is scenes based. Scenes can be dimmed. Tablets control all room functions. Service personnel are informed immediately on failure and staff always knows real room occupation status. Room access is KNX controlled. Hot water production is efficiently controlled and balanced between solar panels and heat pumps.
