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
Located in a residential Melbourne suburb, the project was a unique proposition from the outset. It is a combination of two lifestyles, which are usually considered to be mutually exclusive, off grid living and unbridled luxury. The project, five years in construction was an opportunity for the owners to realise a lifetime of dreams. The brief was to provide a fully integrated automation system that catered to the luxury in which the owners were accustomed, while also managing and maintaining the available energy resources.
