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
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Timed Operation Modes
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Individual Control
  • Operation and Visualisation: PC Visualisation , Web Servers , Tablets and smart phones
  • Automation and Remote Access: Logical Functions , System Supervision , Remote Programming

Customer's description

Als Teil der Wiener Hofburg und Teil des UNESCO Weltkulturerbe wurde das Museum Umgebaut (Saniert) und mit einer KNX Steuerung für die Ausstellungsbereiche ausgestattet. Ziel war es, dem Personal eine möglichst einfache Bedienoberfläche zu schaffen mit welcher ein einfacher Ausstellungsbetrieb ermöglicht wird. Wichtig war es die Beleuchtung mittels Szenen zu Steuern, da die Teils 200-300 Jahre alten Exponate sehr Lichtempfindlich sind.
