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
In this residence there was the integration of systems, control of the shutters through the commissioning of the weather station, visualization of photovoltaic production, as well as all lighting control. Sensors in passageways and short stay offer comfort and economy to the owner. Knx automation encompasses sustainability in the daily routine of the home.
By including KNX in the installation, the project already realised energy savings, which contributed to a better environment. The enhanced energy efficiency is with the project 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.
