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

Eine alte Villa im Wiener Umland wurde komplett entkernt und danach aufwändig saniert. Die komplette Eleltro- und Sanittärinstallation installtion wurde erneuert - als zentrales Bussystem wurde aufgrund der flexibilität und der umfangreichen integrationsmöglichkeiten KNX gewählt. Zusätzlich zur Licht und Beschattungssteuerung, wurde auch die Heizung ung Kühlung komplett in KNX integriert - für die Heizung wurde eine Einzelraumregelung inkl. KNX Anbindung der Gastherme und Heizkreisregelung umgesetzt. Die Kühlung erfolgt über Fanccoils, wobei auch die am Dach installierten Klimaggregate auch über KNX freigegeben und gesperrt werden. Die Alamanlage wurde ebenfals eingebunden - bei Alarm oder Betätigung eines Paniktasters wird die komplette Innen-und Außenbeleuchtung eingeschaltet. Die Visualisierung und die erforderlichen Logiken wurde mittels Gira Homeserver umgesetzt.
