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 , Dimming , Light Scenes , Timed Control , Automatic Occupancy Detection , Constant Light Control
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Automatic Occupancy Detection
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Individual Control , Group & Central Control , Preset Positioning , Sun Tracing (interaction with HVAC / lighting)
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons , Web Servers , Touch Panels & Display Panels
  • Automation and Remote Access: Timed Functions , Logical Functions , System Supervision
  • Energy Management/Smart Metering: Current Detection

Customer's description

The NAFMII new headquarters occupies an office area of over 50,000 square meters, with 20 floors above ground and 4 levels below. The KNX system installed in the entire building for lighting and sunshade control, which consists of about 2,000 KNX devices connected by 40 IP routers, has also been integrated into Honeywell NiagaraAX platform. The android-powered touch screen communicated with the Honeywell via oBix protocol, which allows users to easily monitor and control KNX system. Because of using KNX system, the building reduced electric energy consumption on lightings and HVAC up to 25%.
