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
Gouna city is consider one of the best touristic destination in Egypt on the Red Sea consist of hotels , service apartments , banks , commercial and administration building
the gouvernment is aiming to start to convert all the hotels on the Red Sea to be green and efficient building
Accordingly we got awarded to implement guest room management system in Gouna by using KNX protocol and we will start by 4 hotels1000 room phase 1 during 2022 and will continue the renovation for phase 2 including 4 hotels during 2023
And other phases supposed to come in coming years till we insure that all hotels will be green .
In addition to lighting control system by using KNX for reception and public area and integrated to the GRMS and BMS of the hotel and using number of knx-iot devices which transfer the monitored data to a cloud based software for analysis of energy consumption and through using smart lightings in the streets of el gouna ,gouna is considered a city renovated to be green
