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 two floor commercial building is entirely controlled by KNX system, we have all the lights, curtains, ACs connected using the KNX sensors in order to provide central control for all the functions. Additionally the fire alarm is connected to the KNX system in order to provide specif routines one fire is detected. The visualization is provided using 1Home bridge connecting the system to the iPad plus allowing remote administration and programming in a secured way. Heaters were controlled using switching actuators connected to contractors in order to support the higher loads needed.
