Detailed Description
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.

Customers Description
L'immobile è un edificio sostenibile che non solo minimizza il fabbisogno energetico (come le case passive), ma produce attivamente più energia di quanta ne consuma grazie a fonti rinnovabili (fotovoltaico/solare), integrando comfort abitativo, efficienza energetica e impatto ambientale positivo.
Vantaggi del Sistema
Risparmio Energetico: L'impianto KNX in riferimento alle tabelle BACS ottimizza e riduce i consumi totali del 30% attraverso una regolazione precisa basata sull'effettiva occupazione delle stanze.
Comfort Adattivo: La casa "anticipa" le esigenze dell'utente, regolando la temperatura e la qualità dell'aria prima ancora che se ne avverta il bisogno.
Monitoraggio in Tempo Reale: Gli utenti possono visualizzare le prestazioni dell'edificio tramite interfacce intuitive, ricevendo feedback immediati sull'energia prodotta e consumata.
