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

In this project, we were able to control the whole house and bring more comfort and energy efficiency to our customer combined with good looking elements in the walls. The interaction of motions sensors with lux control integrated with logic were abble to give more comfort and less interaction between the people and the house, letting the house make changes concerning the lights and even the climate.Been the house in a windy place we install a Weather Station that allow to take preventive measures and even send alerts regarding wind and temperature.To wrap-up everything we created a user friendly visualization that integrates audio video and intercom systems.
