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 Viennese Ferris Wheel at the Prater is the symbol of Vienna. The Riesenrad was completed for the first time in 1897 with 30 wagons, after the World War the wagons were reduced to 15 pieces. The complete restoration was completed in 2016 with 15 new Woggons, all of which were automated with the latest KNX technology. This gave rise to completely new possibilities. The wagon heating was realized by floor and wall heating with a sensor in the floor and in the walls in the warmer seasons KNX controls the air conditioning system. Simple audio control via basal clipping detection and displays...
