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

Las habitaciones han sido desarrolladas para impactar, ahorrar energía, mejorar la gestión, y proteger las instalaciones. Todas las luces, climatización, cortinas y tomas de televisión están integradas en el sistema y se controlan a través de pulsadores táctiles, pantalla y voz, individualmente o por escenas. Un sensor de ocupación activa la escena “Dia” o “Noche”, cuando el huésped entra, y una escena “Sin ocupación” permite apagar luces y televisión, poner la climatización en modo “Eco” y cerrar la cortina, para evitar la entrada de calor, apenas éste sale. Para concientizar al huésped, el consumo se muestra sobre la pantalla. Cuando la ventana se abre, la climatización se apaga y la cortina se abre, para protegerla del viento. También, si la puerta se queda abierta más de un minuto, se apaga la climatización para evitar la condensación. Un BMS, donde se centraliza toda la información, permite, entre otros, organizar la limpieza y el mantenimiento.
