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 key features of the project are detail design, lighting control, heating (UFH, Trench and Radiators), cooling (wet chilled ceilings), blinds/curtains (KNX/SMI) and faults console. We used logic to monitor the temperature (ambient, floor, ceiling and manifolds), humidity and dew point of each zone allowing the development of a robust solution ensuring the subsystems perform within their specifications. The system features a custom fail-safe server allowing full remote access and visualisation. The end users create/edit/save scenes which can be called from smart devices and wall switches.
