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

Officially named as the Bob Atkinson Operational Capabilities Centre (BAOCC), the Centre includes cutting-edge architecture and technology, with specialist training areas specifically designed to enhance capability in managing terrorism and other critical incidents. Complete with two indoor firing ranges and a scenario village, both had to be controlled from a single point. The requirement to integrate into the Police range management system, made the implementation of this KNX application possible and successful. KNX was the obvious choice to ensure safety and functionality that were paramount, while undertaking rigorous testing. The KNX system was able to deliver and maintain a high level of reliability and security, and easily interface with other systems. The new counter-terrorism training facility is expected to strengthen Queensland Police’s capability in managing terrorism and critical incidents by providing a realistic training environment and world class facilities.
