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
Mood lighting was very important for this project because the owner wanted to be able to create the ambience of their choice anytime of day operating different lighting scenarios. That's why the DALI protocol was chosen for this task, since it can provide excellent dimming control. Audio control has been integrated via the KNX server to accompany the lighting scenarios. Automated tasks via camera triggers, magnetic contacts and also via schedulers has been put in place in order to elevate the user experience and boost the emotions.
