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 Ltd provided KNX design and commissioning services for integration of a complex lighting scheme, heating control and motorised blind control for this high specification luxury home in Edinburgh. A wide range of different designer LED lighting features throughout the house are brought under control with scene lighting control from GIRA wall switches & Gira X1 app control. Dimming methods including mains, 1-10v and LED dimming work together in a seamless system. Underfloor heating and radiators are zone controlled with individual room temperature controllers integrated into the wall switches. No extra room thermostats or radiator TRV’s were required helping to keep the walls clear of ‘controller clutter’. The owner can set heating timers and make room temperature adjustments in each room or via iPad. Astro timers are used to control garden lighting Hot water temperatures & energy consumption are recorded and visualised for viewing and monitoring purposes.
