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
De vaatwasser en wasmachine lenen zich tot een Smart Start. Dit wil zeggen dat de gebruiker na het opzetten van zijn toestel, via de comfort touch zijn gewenste eindtijd kan instellen. Vervolgens zullen deze toestellen naar Stand-by modus gaan en pas opstarten als er voldoende eigen PV-productie is of als de eindtijd bereikt wordt. De diepvriezer leent zich dan weer tot Smart Buffering. Eens voldoende opbrengst zal deze diepvriezer extra gaan koelen zodat hij bij een periode van beperkte PV-opbrengst uitgeschakeld kan worden en tijdelijk gekoeld blijft door zijn extra buffering.
