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
One of the major areas of home automation is the lighting. when automating a home, lighting is one of the first areas that can easily be automated, it’s also easy to automate the lights without having to rewire the entire villa, we set them up to a hub or an app on your phone, and you can easily turn on and off your lights with a single voice command, we also install a smart knx thermostat in villan by installing one, you can take control of your air conditioning and lessen your monthly electricity bill.
