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 , Dimming , Light Scenes , Timed Control , Automatic Occupancy Detection , Constant Light Control , Lighting Colour Control
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Individual Control
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons , IR Remote Control , PC Visualisation , Tablets and smart phones
  • Automation and Remote Access: Timed Functions , System Supervision , Internet Access , Remote Programming
  • Energy Management/Smart Metering: Metering , Visualisation , Current Detection

Customer's description

it is a KNX educational kit placed in Schneider lab in the university. it will be used to train electrical engineers.we used push button and switch actuators to show how to control lights, we also used dimming actuators on led and incandescent lamps , we used blind actuator , binary input which is connected with energy meter (PM3255 connected with metering gateway) that's gives a signal to the binary input to disconnect certain loads , we used homelynk to create visualization for the whole project connecting it to smartphones and tablets to control the kit.
