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

Function Control were enaged to design a KNX control system for an exsiting client who had experience of KNX in his previous property. The project was a 4-storey Townhouse renovation including 3 self contained apartments. It was important to have the apartment seperate KNX systems, but retain the ability to connect them in the future. The project features 7 seperate lighting and heating control panels, 4 on each floor of the townhouse and 1 in each apartment controlling lighting, zoned heating and boiler/plant control, alongside Gira KNX push button sensors, Gira G1 touchscreen and X1 visualisation and Zennio Z41 touchscreens in the apartments.
