Description détaillée

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.

Description des clients

The site previously relied on SCADA software running on a Windows PC, which often caused building control failures due to updates, restarts, and system instability. The goal was to eliminate the dependency on a Windows machine while giving the facilities team a reliable, powerful, and easy-to-use interface. The Logic Machine was selected as the solution, providing a stable hardware platform with a browser-based interface accessible from any device. Digby Brock led the project, analysing the existing system, redesigning the interface, and ensuring seamless integration with the building’s controls. The result is a far more dependable and efficient system, free from the interruptions that previously affected operations.
