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 project is one of four NZ schools with requirement to be Green Star,with robust, reliable,long lasting and energy efficient infrastructure.The consultant accepted (our) proposal to specify the Open Standard Protocol – KNX for all four schools
In the school with more than 1200 students,the main target was to have an energy efficient automated system,that would consume less energy and wouldn’t require complex operators’ interaction.Based on the previous,each area was separately designed.All DALI luminaires are programmed to have constant lighting control c/w daylight harvesting(no wastage)
