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 project GATE ARGENT has been well thought out to give a better journey for people with reduced mobility.
As they already had an infrared remote control, we had to keep it and add an elevator in the KNX system to allow all the tenants doing what they want outside their appartement.
We replaced the old system by a brand new KNX one adding SIEMENS infrared sensor and a global web supervision. The installation count around 200 KNX devices divided around 12 lines to avoid any trouble. All the doors (level, entry and the buildings ones) are controllable.
