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 , Automatic Occupancy Detection , Constant Light Control
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Central & Automatic Control , Weather Dependent Control , Individual Room Control / Zone Control
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Automatic Programs , Wind and Rain Protection , Sun Tracing (interaction with HVAC / lighting)
  • Security and Safety: Faults (e.g. Leak Detection, Glass Break Detection, Window Contacts) , Intrusion Detection / Alarm Systems , Presence Simulation , Supervision (e.g. Cameras)
  • Operation and Visualisation: Touch Panels & Display Panels
  • Energy Management/Smart Metering: Data Logging , Visualisation , Current Detection

Customer's description

The Metal Foundation in Asturias on the Costa Verde is one of the first educational establishments to offer KNX training in Spain. It is only logical that the new headquarters of the charitable foundation in Avilés should be fitted with the bus system. Since its opening in 2012, training rooms and laboratories are housed on the 3,000 square metres of floor space.
