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
After the 2011 earthquake the art gallery acted as the emergency headquarters for Civil Defence; after this even the reinstatement of the art gallery was seen as a beacon to the public. The building has undergone extensive repairs to ensure that it would stand up to future earthquakes. As such they required a robust and reliable lighting control system to replace the existing obsolete and problematic system; a KNX solution offered a wide range of innovative control options resulting in energy savings and a wide range of options to integrate the art with the building control.
