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 Largo is a boutique hotel made up of nineteen suites, two restaurants and a bar, spread across five historic buildings. The KNX system is made up of a mostly IP structure, avoiding the need for cabling between rooms and floors. The entire system is centralized in a BMS system, and was made available as a platform and communicated with the hotel management system, thus allowing the customer to control lighting, curtains, TV, sound, restaurant reservations and employee calls on their cell phone. The building stands out for its presentation, location and innovation, environmental concern, efficiency and flexibility of services, with the aim of creating a connection between guests and the city.
