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 project we integrated every possible technique into the KNX system. This goes from the normal things like the lights, RGB controls and shutters to 36 heating zones with heat pumps, 19 zones with airco’s and 5 ventilation systems to the extreme like 3 swimming pools, 4 fireplaces, 2 home theaters, 56 multiroom audio zones, 24 TVs with 12 sources and 2 professional music studios. To realize this we’ve used 23 2-way gateways to various non-KNX protocols. Everything is integrated in the KNX system so we only need 1 app to visualize the entire infrastructure with around 5000 group addresses
