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

Meine Frau und ich haben vor einem Jahr geheiratet und bauen nun unser erstes Haus. Es soll modern, smart und zukunftssicher sein. Hier war KNX die einzige Lösung, die für uns in Frage kam. Der Elektriker kannte sich mit KNX nicht so gut aus, daher habe ich mich eingelesen, YouTube-Videos geschaut und den Kurs auf MyKNX gemacht. Wenn man das Prinzip einmal begriffen hat, ist es gar nicht schwer. Das Haus ist noch im Bau, aber die Programmierung läuft bereits und beim Probeaufbau läuft schon fast alles! Auch meine Frau ist begeistert von den Möglichkeiten, die uns erwarten!
