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
Client brought in Function Control Ltd to design a smart home system for their self build project. We were involved in full design of the system including lighting design, Audio Visual and of course the smart home integration. The KNX system at this project includes control of: underfloor heating, towel radiators, blinds, electric roof windows, MVHR as well as lighting control through Gira Push buttons sensors, Gira X1 app and internal and external PIRs. Additionally the system integrates with Control4 which runs the audio visual side of the project. KNX RF devices allow control of lights and curtains from a handheld RF remote in one of the bedrooms
