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
At this project, lighting controller and actuator are from i-bus controlling system, ABB Germany. By using the decentralized system, devices can be easily maintained after installation. Devices in different systems are not influenced by damaged ones in terms of use. If one device is multifunctional, the other ones would be still working. During the requirement, only damaged devices need to be replaced, which decreases the complication and cost for repairment. In 2021, the construction of second apartment in Liangjiangfeng estate was finished. Inspired by the first apartment, DALI lighting system was used in the second one. From the aspect of households, it not only improved the experience of using Smart home and minimized the cost of maintenance, but also enables them to easily adjust lighting for creating atmosphere in different living scenarios. From the aspect of the building developers, using DALI system minimized the size of intelligent operation box.
