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
A house with a breathtaking view is a family’s vacations house. KNX controls absolutely everything: All the electromechanical systems, underfloor heating/cooling, water, door access, security and all the TV, DVD, and audio/video. It maintains interoperability between different systems. Alarm system is also used to save energy and as true feedback for indications. Solar energy is used for domestic hot water, also for heating. Sometimes the house is solely heated by solar energy. Cameras via KNX contribute to safety by supervising the pool for the kids and alert the parents. Equipment use is constantly monitored and a service schedule is automatically generated. Usage is kept simple with only few buttons. Tablets and Siri do the rest also from distance. Owners may define operating modes with any selection of the controlled systems.
Dynamic power management utilizes a small generator. Users always have energy cost feedback of their actions thus they are trained to be Green.
