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
The Skywalk project merges KNX and BACnet protocols to create a sustainable automation ecosystem. KNX optimizes energy use via smart lighting, shading, and occupancy controls, cutting power consumption. BACnet enhances HVAC efficiency, balancing comfort with reduced emissions. Real-time data integration enables adaptive energy management, prioritizing renewables like solar. Predictive maintenance reduces waste, while IoT-ready architecture supports smart grid compatibility for dynamic energy balancing. This synergy lowers operational costs, aligns with LEED/BREEAM standards, and advances net-zero goals. By unifying systems, Skywalk minimizes carbon footprints, conserves resources, and fosters eco-conscious infrastructure, blending human-centric design with scalable planetary stewardship.
