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

Ten projekt skupia się na niezawodności połączonej z dobrym designem przycisków i regulatorów temperatury. Z uwagi na połączenie wielu różnych peryferiów (oświetlenie wewnętrzne i zewnętrzne, żaluzje, ogrzewanie w dwóch niezależnych budynkach i poboczne podsystemy) wymagane było zastosowanie uniwersalnego systemu, pozwalającego na minimalizację liczby urządzeń na ścianach, uproszczenie (unifikację) sterowania i możliwość podłączenia zewnętrznych rozwiązań. This project focuses on reliability combined with a good design of push-buttons and room temperature controllers. Due to the combination of many different peripherals (internal and external lighting, shutters, heating in two independent buildings and side subsystems), it was required to use a universal system that allows to minimize the number of devices on the walls, simplify (unify) control and connect external solutions.
