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

Das „Smart Living im E-Haus“ besteht aus 8 vernetzten Modulen, die auf der IFA2019 ein echtes Smarthome vom Technikraum bis zum Wohnzimmer zum Anfassen mit derzeit möglichen Funktionalitäten anschaulich zum Anfassen dem Fachpublikum präsentiert. Auf der Light+Building2020 wird die Erfolgsgeschichte mit Energiemanagement, Sektorkopplung und Lademanagement inklusive Elektrofahrzeugdatenanbindung fortgeschrieben. Von der Photovoltaik bis zum Stromspeicher über die intelligente Lüftung bis zur Brennstoffzelle, selbst kommunikative Küchengeräte und Active Assisted Living sind anschaulich vernetzt. Multiroomaudio gehört ebenso dazu, wie Türkommunikation und Videoüberwachung. Ein "cloudless" Sprachassistenzsystem dient der Steuerung von haustechnische Funktionen oder Szenen mit einfachen Sprachbefehlen. Die manuelle Bedienung erfolgt sowohl lokal mit Tastern, wie auch über smart über eine einfache Bedienoberfläche mittels TV, Phone und mobile Panel.
