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 customer built a small conservatory with water tanks for storage of heat in the ground underneath the concrete slab with the idea that solar panels could power a water heater and then charge the water tanks to be able to store the heat for the winter to be used in the floor heating.
With KNX we were able to use several temperature sensors to gather both information for datalogging and to be used in automation with a logic module from ABB. With switching actuators, analog output etc. we then could operate valves and pumps etc.
