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

I gave this 2005 house a “makeover” as i re-programmed everything using the ETS software, integrating an IP interface and using some siemens KNX binary output modules i was able to bring my KNX project to life, giving me the versatility, ease of use and efficiency that i wanted. With the IP interface i was able to connect my televisions, sound systems and projectors to the KNX network. Whith some binary output modules i was able to my heating, cooling and security systems, as i do not have the money to buy specific interfaces for them.. (sorry KNX). I am only 17 years old and one day this dream might be my life, installing KNX systems for a living.
