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.

Customer's description

This theatre was built in 1891. It has always been a major building in our country, and is one of the most famous in Latin America for its architecture and history. The restoration of this theatre demanded high quality materials, specific products, and cutting edge technology in its new features and functional updates. The King and Queen of Spain inaugurated the building this summer of 2019. KNX delivers top-of-the-market solution in building control, for lighting and technical alarm management. A large crew is helped by this control system to manage all the operas and ballets held in this luxurious building, which operates all year long with worldwide plays from all over the world.
