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

Das Werkschulheim Felbertal ist eine technische Schule in mitten von Salzburg. Die Vernetzung der einzelnen Gebäuden erfolgt über Lichtwellenleiter. Aufgeteilt in 9 Bereichen sind hier ca. 1000 Geräte verbaut. Die Zentrale Steuerung über einen Gira Homeserver ermöglicht die Zeitgesteuerte Ansteuerung aller Licht und Heizkreise. Dies ist in diesen Objekt besonders Energieeffizient über eine Betriebsmodus Umschaltung der Heizung in Abhängigkeit des Schulunterrichts gekoppelt. Weiters sind alle Brand und Notbeleuchtungsanlagen an das System gekoppelt und ermöglichen hier eine sichere und komfortable Überwachung der Fremdsysteme.
