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

Attention in integrating the luxurious interior with nature. The use of natural lighting, weather station to use its control features. Sensors and close attention to family safety. The thought of using technology and control for lighting, curtains, sensors, HVAC control and other amenities. Regarding the need and special care with the owner's collector's room, the SafeKey system was used for access control. It was the determining factor in solving the project and using KNX as a solution. This KNX integration we present to the user experience with greater efficiency and personality in conjunction with the family lifestyle. With the options of automating features contribute significantly to comfort. By including KNX in the installation, the project already realised energy savings, which contributed to a better environment. The enhanced energy efficiency is, thanks to KNX, an outcome which comes with the project Smart homes and buildings
