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 design of The Beachmere Project will take ongoing advantage of the natural resources available to it, harnessing sunlight, and wind energy that will support its operation and minimise its impact on the environment. "Net zero energy efficiency" will provide long-term cost effective operation for the occupants of the property through power generation and water conservation. In addition, many other features will offer luxury, look, feel and desirable low maintenance liveability.
