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 thesis of two students at the St. Pölten polytechnic in Lower Austria is not only the successful conclusion of their studies, but also a study of the school centre building project. Using a sample class, the electrical engineers tested which energy saving potentials can be achieved at different levels of the building automation. The focus lay on the individual room control with KNX. The result: there is a 30 percent saving in thermal energy compared to circuit control.
