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 project is a fully automated office building located at northwest of Tehran, Iran. This building is the headquarter of a holding. KNX is used as the main communication protocol for building automation. Although, the floors are connected using KNX/IP interfaces using the computer network of the building. Based on the user preference and monitoring purposes, a digital twin model of the building developed in the IES software. The main advantage of KNX technology here is the ability of the protocol to collect and transfer the data using several mediums and passing it to the IP network and cloud storage. Thanks to Thinknx cloud services, all the data from sensors and the electricity consumption are monitored and modeled in a digital twin.
