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

The project took place in a small but charming boutique hotel located in Argostoli, Greece. The hotel owner, who were already familiar with KNX technology, chose without hesitation a KNX-based solution that would allow them to control and manage most of the systems installed in the hotel. The hotel seeks to offer a different experience to its customers and undoubtedly part of it is both the aesthetic choice of the devices and the comfort provided by the KNX installation, both in the common areas and in the rooms. In addition, the property needs the building to be very energy efficient, a goal that also achieved with KNX installation.
