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 , Lighting Colour Control
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Central & Automatic Control , Timed Operation Modes , Weather Dependent Control , Individual Room Control / Zone Control , Valve Drive Control / Fan Coil Control , CO2 / Humidity Measuring
  • Security and Safety: Faults (e.g. Leak Detection, Glass Break Detection, Window Contacts)
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons , PC Visualisation , Web Servers , Touch Panels & Display Panels
  • Automation and Remote Access: Timed Functions , Logical Functions , Remote Programming , Messaging (e.g. SMS)
  • Energy Management/Smart Metering: Metering , Data Logging , Visualisation , Fuel or Water tank level control , Use of Renewable Energies
  • Other: Home Appliances Control

Customer's description

Four office buildings + three bus workplaces buildings and three bus mainstations localy managed by KNX with a multilevel and multiaccess supervision over IP available from any place in any building We also managed the energy consumtion (electricity, cogeneration, photovoltaic, gaz and water) via a the smart metering module of the visualisation Recently we also begin to managed the Dali failures using the DALI tool of the visualisation We also control the equiment of technical rooms automaticaly due to restricted access (High voltage cabin, fuel station, compressed air station,.....) All the offices with more than three persons, the refectories and the meeting rooms are monitored for air quality (T°, CO² and moisture). All these installations are in constant evolution, for example recently five heating plants have been refurbished using synco modules of Siemens HVAC The group adresses structure of the projects is similar to each site to facilitate the maintenance intervention
