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

Our goal in this work has been to achieve the highest level of safety, reliability, energy efficiency, water savings and comfort. To achieve this, all the components of the facilities have been integrated and many algorithms and functions have been developed so that the house is completely self managed and reaches the highest level of energy efficiency and water saving with greater security and simplicity of use for the owners. Special Attention has also been given to the reliability of the installation through the use of suitable devices and specially designed functions.
