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 historic buildings in the Flemish city of Kortrijk have made it a popular destination for visitors. Not so many people know that it is also the secret design capital of Belgium. The AVC Inspiration Centre in Evolis boosts the city’s design credentials in two ways: firstly because it manufactures and sells aluminium and glass products for use in stylish contemporary interiors, and secondly because of its elegant new 9,000 m² and state of the art company building.
