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.
Applications Used
- Lighting - Switching, Dimming, Light Scenes, Timed Control, Automatic Occupancy Detection, Constant Light Control
- Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC)
- Security and Safety
- Operation and Visualisation - Switches / Push Buttons, Touch Panels & Display Panels
- Energy Management/Smart Metering
- Other - Audio Control, Video Control
- Automation and Remote Access - Timed Functions, Logical Functions
- Blind and Shutter Control - Individual Control, Group & Central Control, Preset Positioning, Sun Tracing (interaction with HVAC / lighting)
Customers Description
This project allows to control all lighting and blind system together. The lighting system use DALI ballast and is controlled by presence and light level sensors. The blinds system is controlled by a weather station in the top of building by sun position. All system control about 2400 light fixtures and 140 blind motors. The main products used in this project were KNX/DALI interfaces, blinds actuators, KNX/RS232 interface and tactile panels. We used schedule and light constant control. It project allowed to the client get the LEED gold certification and reduce the energy bills
