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

Revolutionizing food production, Food security, Decarbonising agriculture, Edible green infrastructure, Science based target. The Greenspace urban farm projects are about reducing food miles, growing sustainable food and making use of untenanted building space. KNX allows us and our client to control and monitor the farms remotely in realtime giving them the data to make calls on how to alter and change the environment to better service. The controls and sensor data is posted to our platform via MQTT for realtime updates and alert based rules. The farmer can review the trends and export the data in multiple formats
