| 08-12-2008 | Superb prospects for bus-based | Bus technology has become considerably better-established within the industry in recent years. Whereas in 2005, less than one in every two respondents (47%) foresaw a future for bus-based installation technology, in 2008 more than 82 percent of users predicted a great future for the technology. According to respondents, the benefits of bus-based installation technology are: increased comfort and convenience, greater flexibility, efficient energy management, and better building safety and security. For the third time running, there was a very strong consensus among respondents regarding the global standard for home and building control: KNX was the clear favourite. These statistics are taken from a newly-published international market survey1) compiled by South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences. The survey was conducted in April 2008 during “Light+Building”, the world’s largest trade fair for architecture and technology. | Survey_German.pdf » Survey_English.pdf » PR_Dutch.pdf » PR_English.pdf » PR_French.pdf » PR_German.pdf » PR_Italian.pdf » PR_Spanish.pdf » | Dutch.zip » English.zip » French.zip » German.zip » Italian.zip » Spanish.zip » |

| 07-04-2008 | Largest increase in KNX membership and biggest sales of ETS licences since the founding of the Association. | KNX continues to forge ahead on the road to success, thus highlighting its pioneering role as the world’s only open STANDARD for home and building control (ISO/IEC 14543). Membership of the KNX Association increased last year by 45 new manufacturers from 15 different countries – that’s the biggest growth ever since the Association was founded in 1990. 3 companies from the USA joined the KNX Association – the first US members. In addition, the number of new ETS licences sold was three times more than in the previous year. In some countries, members’ sales of KNX products grew by up to 60%. According to surveys conducted in seven European countries, KNX is by far the most-used bus technology. KNX is used in more than 80 countries around the world. | Italian.pdf » German.pdf » English.pdf » Spanish.pdf » Swedish.pdf » French.pdf » Dutch.pdf » | Picture2.jpg » Picture1.jpg » |

| 18-06-2007 | Metering Industry Recommends KNX | Communication technology, in particular the remote reading of meters, will continue to play an increasingly important role for meters in homes and buildings. The new EU regulation, “Energy efficiency in buildings” (prEN 15232), states that every customer must be able to read and control their energy consumption at any time. In order to meet these requirements as efficiently as possible, FIGAWA (the association of more than 1000 companies that produce gas, heating and water meters), has recommended the use of KNX radio frequency (KNX RF) as the standard for home and building automation. | English.pdf » German.pdf » Swedish.pdf » Spanish.pdf » Dutch.pdf » Italian.pdf » Russian.pdf » French.pdf » Czech.pdf » | logo.zip » |
| 01-03-2007 | ETS3 - Now with a dongle | ETS (Engineering Tool Software) continues to be a key route to success. More than 22,000 users in more than 75 countries are now working with the KNX commissioning tool. The uniqueness of the tool is that all KNS-products can be commissioned with the ETS, independent of the manufacturer, the application or the transmission route (TP, PL, RF or IP). The new PC-independent ETS3 version with dongle now makes software handling even easier. | English.pdf » German.pdf » Swedish.pdf » Spanish.pdf » Dutch.pdf » Italian.pdf » Russian.pdf » French.pdf » Czech.pdf » | Dongle.jpg » |
