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

In der Produktion wird die Beleuchtung mittels PIR erfasst und geschaltet. In den Bürobereichen wird das Licht ebenfalls mittels PIR erfasst, hier war aber eine Konstantlichtregelung gefordert. Die Jalousien werden mittels Sonnenstandsnachführung automatisch gefahren. Ab Visualisierung können aber alle Jalousien einzeln bedient werden. Mittels Meteodata werden Sturmwarnungen für den See emfpangen und bei bedarf die Storen geschützt. Im Eingangsbereich sind RGBW-Leuchten installiert welche durch den Tag eine angenehme Beleuchtung bietet. Nachts erstrahlen die Leuchten in den Firmenfarben. Weiter wurde eine einfache Alarmanlage mittels Server realisiert. Diese sendet nachts und am Wochenende an den Hauswart eine SMS wenn innerhalb zwei Minuten zwei Melder ansprechen. Diese zwei Minuten wurden realisiert das es durch die Abwärme der Produktionsmaschinen gelegentlich zu fehlalarmen kam.
