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
Horten VGS is 18,000 square meters spread over four floors. The school is built as an energy-positive building and will be Norway's highest environmentally classified education building. In March 2019, Horten VGS became the winner of the BREAAM Awards. Most of the automation in the building is controlled by MultiController from function Technology, by integrating heating/cooling, DALI/HCL, sunscreen, daylight control and HVAC in one product. The ease of installation with plug-in connection based on Wago prefabricated cables made the installation very cost-effective. The School will have a solar cell plant of approx. 3 500 m². The heating solution is with geo wells, water-borne heat and cooling.
