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

Das Johannes-Gutenberg-Haus im Wissenschaftspark Kiel ist ein modernes Bürogebäude mit rund 6.500 m² Mietfläche, vier Vollgeschossen und einem Staffelgeschoss. Die KNX-basierte Raumautomation vernetzt 806 Geräte von onework, MDT, ABB, Elsner, Steinel und Warema. Über onework CORE werden Beleuchtung, Human Centric Lighting, Beschattung, Raumklima sowie Sensorik für Präsenz, Helligkeit, Temperatur und Luftgüte intelligent miteinander verknüpft. Bodentiefe Fenster, hoher Tageslichteinfall, sonnengeführter Blendschutz und eine Fußbodenheizung mit Kühlfunktion schaffen ein komfortables und energieeffizientes Arbeitsumfeld. Das Projekt zeigt, wie KNX als offene Integrationsplattform Nutzerkomfort, Flächeneffizienz, Nachhaltigkeit und flexible Bürostrukturen in einem skalierbaren Smart-Building-Konzept zusammenführt.
