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

We received a request to install a home automation system in a two-level penthouse. The system must control lighting, including automatic light activation in corridors and bathrooms, and also manage climate systems such as fan coil units and underfloor heating. In addition, the system must provide control of electric curtains on all windows and electric blinds in the bathroom. The system must also provide control of televisions and include in-ceiling speakers in the rooms and on the terrace. A home cinema based on Bang & Olufsen equipment with a vinyl turntable is planned for the living room.
