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.

Ease of Use

By integrating KNX, we automatically experience a higher energy efficiency and comfort. Furthermore, by the possibility to use further devices, in order to make the usage of the project easier, we can look at further opportunity to even make the whole installation easier in usage.

Applications used

  • Lighting: Switching , Automatic Occupancy Detection
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Weather Dependent Control , Natural Ventilation
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Wind and Rain Protection
  • Security and Safety: Smoke/Fire Detection , Faults (e.g. Leak Detection, Glass Break Detection, Window Contacts) , Interaction with HVAC/Lighting
  • Operation and Visualisation: IR Remote Control , Tablets and smart phones
  • Energy Management/Smart Metering: Data Logging , Visualisation

Customer's description

An industrial installation by Anton Hieber GmbH & Co Elektroanlagen AG shows how a ventilation system can be controlled efficiently with KNX in addition to the usual functions. At Ritter GmbH in Schwabmünchen, a manufacturer of plastic cartridge systems, considerable levels of waste heat accumulate when producing the castings. Ventilation functions in the new factory building are controlled via KNX, so that the room remains pleasantly cool in the summer while the residual heat helps to heat the room in the winter.
