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
This vila is home for a family of 4 and pets. The KNX systems takes care of all the complicated aspects allowing the family members, visitors, workers are interacting without noticing with the house. Thanks to KNX integrations the house is more energy efficient, maximizing the sun, reducing watering and keeping comfort temperature and lighting.
This project is a great example of the flexibility and stability of KNX and how it evolved over time to become again the most innovative home automation system in the market.
