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
This project included a wide range of KNX devices from numerous European KNX manufacturers in an effort to achieve a single control point for all services. The project heavily utilises Logic, Timers and Scenes to automate a wide range of functions including Security Measures and more complex all-off commands. The integration of Audio within the project also catered for secondary purposes such as Door Bell and Alarm Sounding which assisted in the grand design of limited wall acne. The heating setup allows individual room setpoint control and benefits from Summer and Frost protection modes to reduce fuel consumption.
