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 buildings were already done with KNX many years ago (ETS2). I born and raised in a KNX environment. KNX is everywhere in my life and that triggered me to become a university electrical engineering student. A family friend decided to transform his own vacation villas into luxury renting ones. KNX was already installed and no doubt it was the means for the transformation. It was a good chance for me as I was intended to have my diploma thesis in KNX. I proposed a different approach than the usual and the client gave me the opportunity to try it, thus, Diana Villas born. They offer astonishing view, security, privacy and user friendliness. After reprogramming (ETS5) and adding more devices, KNX controls everything. The visualization design is unique and intuitive. It displays in a realistic presentation what the users would actually see if they were in the controlled area. KNX and ETS backwards compatibility was the key for the highly appreciated achievement by the client. Check video
