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 office has 2.500 square meter in total, 15 meeting rooms, 200+ air conditionated machines and limited time to get everything done! This project was a huge responsability even for a 14 years old automation company. Each meeting room has 1 iPAD to control lights, curtains, HVAC and Audio & Video systems. As many different people use this rooms, it has to be easy to operate, so we create an intuitive interface based on Iridium Mobile running on iPADs with wall frames. Also as it is so big, with different types of air condition, the automation provide a perfect way to manage everything together.
