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

Wij realiseerden, samen met enkele installateurs, de automatisatie van onze woning via de perfecte integratie & connectiviteit van KNX met Control4, Gira videoparlofoon, DSC alarmsysteem, Dahua camerabeveiliging, toegangscontrole …. We opteerden voor KNX vanwege de gebruikte betrouwbare technologie, de vele leveranciers en design mogelijkheden, de onbeperkte uitbreiding- en technische mogelijkheden. We merken dat “Domotica” nog steeds met argwaan wordt aanzien en dit, onterecht, vele mensen afschrikt. We hebben eveneens het financieel plaatje bekeken en indien we bij een standaard configuratie blijven is knx absoluut niet duurder dan een conventionele installatie … wat maakt het een dure installatie ? De toestellen, bedieningen, remote bediening, visualisatie, externe koppelingen en automatisaties …. die anders niet gerealiseerd of zelfs onmogelijk zijn bij een traditionele installatie. We genieten nu dagelijks van dit bediengscomfort….
