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

"Uchūsen" meaning spaceship in Japanese, a theme used for a KNX integrator office. After more than 15 years as KNX system integrator, we decided to have our own premises and fully equipped with KNX, to showcase the power & flexibilities of KNX. This building is a certified Green Building Index (GBI) Silver status, equipped with Renewable Solar Energy, Rain Water Harvest, Power Meter monitoring, Lighting and HVAC control, irrigation system, Google voice activation and apps control. The best part of this building is done by vocational students to showcase skills of vocational including KNX. 4 story building divided into lower ground (Engine room) where all engineers and technician located. A dashboard to display energy & water consumption of each level. First floor, space café, space capsule, prayer room and KNX training centre. Second floor is command centre, battle station and UFO room and roof will be gym, library and game room. All fully control and monitor with KNX
