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 , Light Scenes , Timed Control , Lighting Colour Control
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons , Web Servers , Touch Panels & Display Panels , Tablets and smart phones
  • Other: Distributed Facilities

Customer's description

This project consisted on a full reconstruction of the facade of one of the most important and historical buildings in south America. A very important amount of RGB LED Wallwashers, WW LED Wallwashers, and RGB LED strips lights were used, controlled by DMX and interfaced with KNX via TP - IP for remote control, scenes, and scheduled functions. The movement of the upper statues and sound of the bells every hour were completely restored.
