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

To bring different elements together, you need a common denominator. That is represented in this project by KNX. The existing building systems of the two branches of “Volksbank Dortmund” in Unna and Schwerte could not be more different. Not only was one building equipped with the KNX bus system while the other was fitted with other system technology, there were also many different individual applications. The electrical installer has succeeded in incorporating all the building technologies in a single building management system that spans both locations.
