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
Our project rejuvenated a 20-year-old KNX system in a building at the Bahrain F1 circuit, originally installed for RUF in the late '90s. After years of disuse, McLaren acquired the building and enlisted us, recognized as top experts in the area, to revitalize the system. Utilizing specialized tools to diagnose the outdated KNX setup, we conducted thorough troubleshooting to address the issues. After weeks of diligent work, we successfully integrated old and new devices and cables, demonstrating KNX's consistent standard over two decades.
