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

Richter Gedeon’s new office building demonstrates how KNX can transform a modern corporate headquarters into an intelligent, energy-conscious and future-proof working environment. The project integrates lighting, shading, heating, cooling, ventilation and central building supervision into one scalable automation platform, designed to support comfort, operational transparency and long-term flexibility. The KNX-based solution allows different building functions and products from multiple manufacturers to work together reliably, while giving users and facility managers intuitive control over daily operation. The result is not only a technically advanced office building, but a smart workplace where automation actively contributes to energy efficiency, employee comfort, sustainability goals and the long-term value of the property.
