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 Zenit project is a new configuration starting from an old knx project finished some years ago by another system integrator. Thanks to bus knx this was possible without extreme changes in the plant. Connecting a Crestron processor, adapting the old ETS and adding new KNX devices, we created a new user friendly graphic interface to improve and optimize the energy/lighting/clime management and operate the daily/weekly calendar for greater efficiency and user comfort. The Domofox experience with the Zenit staff knowledge to become a winner team.
