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 appointed to design KNX system for this remote property in the Scottish Highlands. The project comprises control of lighting, shading, heating, MVHR, smoke alarms, leak detection & door/window contacts As the property is remote, Gira S1 allows remote access and monitoring, whilst a KNX weather station provides automatic internal shading to help keep energy costs down. The lighting design incorporates a lot of LED tape, so rather than hiding LED drivers around the property the panels were carefully designed to house the LED controllers & drivers centrally for easier cabling & servicing.
