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

KNX PROTECTS THE SYMBOLS OF INTERNATIONAL CULTURE Ancient Olympia is the place where the ancient Olympics were taking place in Greece. It includes the ancient stadium and all the supporting installations for the games. Olympia museum demonstrates the priceless sculptures and statues found in the area. KNX controls lights natural lighting, ventilation, humidity and temperature aiming to best presentation of the exhibits and protection against ultraviolet, and moisture. Natural lighting is ideal because it better demonstrates the concept and perspective of the ancient artist. Automatically controlled skylights serve this need along with constant light control of the artificial lighting but natural light can be destructive for the exhibits if not controlled according to rules that the archeologists suggest. Accurate Humidity temperature and air quality control are important for the durability of the priceless monuments.
