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: Dimming , Light Scenes , Timed Control , Constant Light Control
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Timed Operation Modes , Automatic Occupancy Detection , Weather Dependent Control , Individual Room Control / Zone Control , CO2 / Humidity Measuring
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Group & Central Control , Preset Positioning , Automatic Programs , Wind and Rain Protection , Sun Tracing (interaction with HVAC / lighting)
  • Security and Safety: Smoke/Fire Detection , Faults (e.g. Leak Detection, Glass Break Detection, Window Contacts) , Presence Simulation , Supervision (e.g. Cameras) , Interaction with HVAC/Lighting
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons , PC Visualisation , Web Servers , Tablets and smart phones
  • Automation and Remote Access: Timed Functions , Logical Functions
  • Energy Management/Smart Metering: Metering , Data Logging , Visualisation , Current Detection
  • Other: Video Control

Customer's description

The aim of this project is to adapt or change the controls of the lab domotics to function as a smart lab of the future. The automation of the lab domotics is realized with KNX. Visualization is implemented for better understanding and user experience. Security is also a very important part of this project. Through the use of automation controls, the lab domotics can be changed in a smart lab of the future.
