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 is how the house of the future will function: the building system observes constantly the energy requirement in each circuits, the energy produced by the photovoltaic system, which is compared with the time variable electricity tariff of the network provider and controls the loads so that they are as energyefficient and cost-effective as possible. The Darmstadt University of Technology has adopted this in its curriculum.
