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

Der Donauturm ist eines der Wahrzeichen Wiens, international bekannt wie der Stephansdom und das Riesenrad, und mit 252 Metern von der Sohle bis zu Spitze das höchste Bauwerk Österreich. Seit der Eröffnung 1964 zieht er als beliebtes Ausflugsziel jedes Jahr über 420000 Besucher an. Seit 2001 steht der Turm unter Denkmalschutz. Der Umbau fand in enger Abstimmung mit dem Bundesdenkmalamt statt. Mit der Gesamthöhe von 252 Meter ist der Donauturm das höchste Bauwerk Österreichs. Das Zentralgeschoß befindet sich in einer Höhe von 165 Metern. Der Durchmesser am Boden beträgt 12 Meter, wobei sich der Turm auf 6 Meter in einer Höhe von 160 Meter verjüngt. Das Fundament hat eine Tiefe von 8 Meter und hat einen Durchmesser von 31 Meter. Insgesamt wiegt der Donauturm 17.600 Tonnen. ©Donauturm
