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 project has been ver particular knowing we were dealing with handicap persons whose lives rely on the system. Indeed they live indivually in their own house and get help from assistants and doctors only on specific situation (day and night). A common base has been realised then a particular attention has been given according to each handicap. All the applications were implemented, from the basic remmote control to voice control (with Alexa). KNX system has significantly improved their every day life in being more independant. The end user can know control not only their lighting and heating but thanks to the videophone control his calls and entrance. Realisation made by company Yvelec.
