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
The YPF Puerto madero tower was designed by the famous architect Cesar Pelli.
It has 36 floors of which 33 are occupied by offices and most striking, a winter garden that covers from the 26th to the 31st floor, visible from the street.
This year the KNX lighting control system was completely renewed, adding functions such as Daylight control and a 3D web server with remote access.
100% of the existing infrastructure was used and the necessary sensors and control modules were added generating an energy saving in lighting of 40% extra.
