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
Papoulas Residence located in the city of Toledo - PR is the first residential building in the interior of the state to be 100% automated with KNX technology.
It was conceived with a bold design in terms of architecture and especially with the premises of sustainability in the foreground. In this case the customer chose automation to facilitate the management and use in the operation of the building. Through control of the thermal load within the environments with the use of sensors to control motorized blinds in the apartments, and the greatest use of natural lighting with artificial lighting only used to compensate within the environments, directly impacting on savings in the use of air conditioning. Thus increasing the hours of comfort for the residents.
The Papoulas Residence as a reference was one of the finalist projects of the 5th Saint Gobain Architecture Award - Sustainable Habitat.
Users' welfare and use of innovative technologies and solutions, such as KNX Automation.
