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

Das vermutlich intelligenteste Wohnhaus der Welt in Hamburg ist ein einzigartiges Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekt mit über 8 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit sowie mehr als 11000 Stunden KNX-Integrationsleistung. Über 180 km Kabel, 25 Elektroverteiler, über 1.000 Schaltkanäle in 5 Bereichen und 21 KNX-Linien bilden die Grundlage einer Gebäudeplattform, die weit über klassische Automation hinausgeht. KNX vernetzt dabei DALI, DMX, Modbus und zahlreiche weitere Systeme zu einer gemeinsamen Architektur. Sensorfußböden, 3D-Objekterkennung, Personentracking, Mikrofon-Arrays, schaltbares Glas, Human Centric Lighting, fahrbare Trennwände, unsichtbare Lautsprecher sowie über 700 ansteuerbare DMX-Fassadenleuchten zeigen eindrucksvoll die Möglichkeiten intelligenter Gebäudeautomation. Ein eigenes 10-köpfiges Entwicklerteam macht dieses Gebäude zu einem weltweit einzigartigen Demonstrator für die Zukunft vernetzter Gebäudetechnik.
