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
KNX controls were installed in the only remodeled area of the house and control the kitchen lighting. In addition, there are features hidden within the KNX logic that allow for changing HVAC parameters.
The user can, intuitively and without any prior training, operate the home in a conventional manner and take advantage of all the technology seamlessly.
The equipment installation was carried out by a technician with no prior KNX experience who was fascinated by the simplicity and capability of the protocol.
