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
First of all the client wanted the simplicity of control of the house. KNX system gave the client an incredibly large selection of different solutions (switches, touch panels, etc.). For example, the client found EAE switches as the best designed and the easiest to use in the house.
Full lighting control has been implemented, including automatic control based on presence and twilight sensors.
We also control all the heating zones with the EAE KNX thermostat and with the same thermostat we have controlled TOSHIBA ACs (ON-OFF, FAN SPEED, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, SETPOINT TEMPERATURE, and the ERRORs.
More than that we controlled the air extraction system with some logical function, and of course all the blinds/shutters are controlled via KNX.
and with the help of the EAE Valeasa panel, we have integrated the Akuvox intercom to make it easy for the client to use.
KNX turned out to be a solid choice at the time of initial construction, and today still provides a solid foundation.
