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
Tirana cathedral is a majestic complex of modern architecture. The complex is composed of 3 entities. The Cathedral, and the synodic and cultural centers. It includes an opera, library, museum and the hosting facilities. An architectural prize won for this unique design combining the tradition with modern. Flying over Tirana, the Cathedral is dominant in the sight. Heating and domestic hot water are powered also by a huge solar panels installation located on the roofs. 320 solar panels at a total of 640 sq. meters surface collect solar energy used for heating in combination to heat recovery.
