Energy-saving resolutions? KNX makes them achievable for everyone
As the new year begins, many of us pledge to adopt better habits. Energy-saving resolutions are more popular than ever. Whether you’re looking to cut down on energy bills, reduce your environmental impact, or both, achieving these goals requires more than good intentions—it requires the right tools. That’s where KNX comes in. By enabling intelligent automation and seamless energy management, KNX makes it easy to turn your energy-saving resolutions into lasting, impactful habits.
Why do energy-saving resolutions matter more than ever before?
The global shift toward sustainability has made energy efficiency a priority. Rising energy costs, government regulations, and the urgency to reduce carbon emissions are pushing homeowners to rethink how they consume energy. Smart homes play a crucial role in this transition, offering innovative solutions to optimize energy use without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
However, energy efficiency is not just about using less power—it’s about using it smarter. That’s where the KNX system stands out, providing a flexible and future-proof system that integrates energy-saving solutions seamlessly into your home.
How does KNX make a difference in energy efficiency and energy-saving solutions?
KNX is committed to a clear vision for the future: fostering a more sustainable world.

In which cases does a KNX system help save energy?
Households with renewable energy
KNX seamlessly integrates with renewable energy systems like solar panels and batteries. Battery storage ensures that excess energy is stored for later use, reducing reliance on the grid and maximizing sustainability. Once your solar panels and batteries are connected to your appliances and smart devices, the KNX system is the ideal partner to handle your load management. Smart load management prevents peak demand charges and prioritizes energy use across devices, ensuring critical systems run efficiently while non-essential devices operate during off-peak times.
Households with high home automation opportunities
Electronic devices, heating and cooling account for the majority of energy consumption in most homes. With KNX, you can automate HVAC systems, lighting, security systems and more to remain active only when needed.
Automated routines: By automating your devices according to your routines, your home can activate and deactivate devices without any required actions from the homeowner. Let’s say you go to bed around 10 pm, you can automate the heating in your living room to turn off from 9 pm. This way, you don’t waste energy on keeping a room warm that you’re going to leave soon.
Scenes: By installing so-called ‘scenes’, you can easily turn on (or off) the preferred settings for a single room or complete home. With a single click, remotely or not, you’ll be able to save energy from virtually anywhere. Scenes are mostly used for situations that are less regular and last longer. Vacation mode is a good example: You don’t want any devices to be active for multiple consecutive days, except for your security system.
