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

This two storey house that sits on a steep hillside overlooking the nearby city of Thessaloniki was originally designed in 1963. The new owners fully renovated and reconfigured the house to suit their family needs and re-establish its relationship to the surrounding landscape. Although it kept most of its original shape, the house was transformed into a minimalistic modern Smart house controlled by KNX using switches, touch screens and Web Control. Many different protocols and complex demands combined and controlled by KNX. Dali, DMX, RGB, Modbus, Enocean, Crestron are some of the protocols and technologies used and combined with KNX. Lights, shutters, opening windows, underfloor heating, climate control, hot water, solar power management, energy measurements, pool temp, water quality, Intercom, CCTV, alarm system, AV distribution and web control are some of the functions implemented.
