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

The interior design needs to build an elegant and vivid apartment for the owner. With the help of KNX system, the design has a large choose comparing with the other system. For example, at the entrance, we use Tense, a really high-end keypad. The material of Tense is as same as the marble that the owner is used for his apartment. Tense allows us to customize a keypad for the customer. However, concerning about the price, the rest of the keypads are Vimar. We use the KNX for the security, the HVAC system, the background music system, the shades system, the lighting system integration. Even with the help of Kanotec (KNX), the customer can control his apartment not only by scene, or by sensor, but also in the remote area.
