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
This project presents the measuring of the consumed quantity of Water (in liters), Gas (in liters) and Electric Power (in KWh), of a house, using KNX technique.
This project has been created by the pupils of the 2nd Laboratory Center (the 2nd Laboratory Center is a secondary technical school in the area of Volos in Greece), for the needs of a Greek National Competition. In fact this project was a proposal to the Greek authorities, in order to optimize and reduce the cost of the measuring the above consumptions.
