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
The Arouca School Center was a requalification project of the old Arouca Basic School. The former teaching establishment consisted of four pavilions joined by outdoor roofs and was transformed to present itself as “a single building”.
The functions integrated in the building include controlling the lighting with motion detection and constant regulation, managing student entrance rings and employee calls, HVAC control, security system integration, monitoring of energy, water and gas consumption, monitoring and control security lighting.
