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
This is a groundbreaking project for L’Oréal NZ, setting a national benchmark as the first 6-Star Green Star Design industrial facility in New Zealand. The 12,000m² distribution centre includes a 16-metre-high Dangerous Goods Store. KNX acts as the core automation backbone for adaptive lighting and safety. High-bay lighting across warehouse aisles, offices, and canopy zones is controlled via KNX/DALI gateways distributed across multiple switchboards. The system utilizes high-precision occupancy sensing for aggressive daylight harvesting. The KNX network operates independently but interfaces natively via IP to the facility's Building Management System (BMS) for synchronized time-clock control and the Energy Monitoring System (EMS) for site-wide power logging. Crucially, the system utilizes dry contact inputs to integrate directly with facility fire systems for automatic emergency egress sequences.
