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
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Central & Automatic Control , Timed Operation Modes
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons , Touch Panels & Display Panels
  • Automation and Remote Access: Timed Functions , Logical Functions

Customer's description

High office building with many floors and large space controlled with KNX. A large number of KNX-presence detectors realises constant light control over approximately 3000 lightings. The building has been in operation for 8 years (2020) and has been running fine with minimum of service needed on the KNX-system. There have been some customer needs for adaption to the operation but there have been no need of adjustments to the KNX-system it self. The KNX-system also incorporates connection to the ventilation system via modbus gateway
