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
Shape shifting faced via 3 independently rotating rooms, that their can change positions due to climate variability in different seasons of the year (In the open mode, the rooms pivot outwards on their rotating base, pointing the windowed ends to the sun, which also creates a terrace on each floor. Closed mode hides the windows to keep the house warm during Cold days of the year).
It should be noted that this very famous project has won numerous awards( WAF_2014, Grand Memar Award_2014, Middle East Award (MEA)_2014).
Revolving Rooms System by Bumat Company in Germany.
Disable fan coils with window sensor & Create comfort/standby mode in each room thermostats, Parking automatic light, Public automatic light control
Use Double glazed windows, Insulating all warm water pipes.
