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 is a standardized building automation system that integrates all key functions of a modern villa into a single control platform. Lighting is controlled through scenes (welcome, night, dining) and automatic daylight adjustment for comfort and efficiency.
Shading (blinds, shutters) reacts to solar radiation, time schedules, and indoor temperature, reducing overheating and cooling demand. Presence simulation increases security by randomly operating lights and shading when the villa is unoccupied.
Heating and cooling via underfloor systems and fan coils is zoned, with precise room temperature control based on occupancy and conditions. The system also manages domestic hot water, swimming pool equipment (pumps, filtration, temperature control), and irrigation based on schedules or weather.
Access control including doors, gates, garage, and intercom is fully integrated, enabling secure remote management via smartphone or tablet from anywhere.
