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
First of all KNX System is a trendy system in egypt. so in summer 2018 we decided to enter this great field.
so we searched for KNX Components sponsorship and we find schneider electric egypt and we are accepted as a sponsored company. we configured a kit to act basic functions as a switching , dimming , blind movement and create simple scenario then create visualization to visual all system. then in 2020 second generation of our students searched for technical support and find ELEK-Egypt then configured more specific tasks like staircase lighting function and control all system by using voice commands using Alexa. and integrate IP cameras to our system using knx/ip server. now our third generation of students continue to work to do more specific tasks like constant light control and using a knx system to help their new ideas with security systems. from day one we create experimental book to help upcoming students to know more and i will attach some pages from it.
