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 Hale Nui Project is a private residence boasting some of the most advanced building technology to seamlessly control the 5 Bedroom 6 Bathroom home.
The KNX and Basalte system controls not only the lighting, blinds, air-conditioning, heating, toilet flushes and audio, but directly integrates into the incoming energy supply to ensure the home never draws too much load from the grid.
To combat this the home is fitted with a 12kW PV array attached to a complete off grid battery backup system, this is monitored by KNX Energy meters sending out notifications to the owner and system integrator prior to switching off non essentials loads known as load shedding.
The project was not without it’s challenges, this was difficult renovation completed with little to know architectural plans, an everchanging scope of works and further to this being completed from 2020- Mid 2021 meant COVID was at it’s peak.
