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
If the fire brigade goes into action in the Swiss federal city of Bern, KNX has already done some good preparatory work. In the new fire station Forsthaus West-Bern an alarm automatically triggers switching operations, which support a rapid deployment of the fire brigade: corridors, bed and recreation rooms switch automatically to alarm light, KNX push buttons flash red, loudspeakers provide information about the operation, the doors of the vehicle hall open automatically and the traffic lights of the main street switch on red.
