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

This pilot project shows how to use a low investment for networking entire neighborhoods intelligently in order to act against rising energy prices through an optimal energy supply. Prospectively a total floor space of 7000m ² with about 1800 KNX devices will be equipped. This KNX infrastructure will be expanded with a gateway, which bridges the gap between area-wide home automation and decentralized energy supply.
