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.

Applications used

  • Lighting: Switching , Dimming , Light Scenes , Constant Light Control
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC): Weather Dependent Control , CO2 / Humidity Measuring
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Individual Control , Wind and Rain Protection
  • Security and Safety: Smoke/Fire Detection , Emergency Lighting
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons
  • Automation and Remote Access: Internet Access
  • Energy Management/Smart Metering: Metering

Customer's description

The project is an educational project, it is an educational kit in one of the oldest Egyptian universities in the department of electricity of the college of engineering, Al-Azhar University, three years ago the idea started to come to one of the doctors to guide students to the field of energy saving and ease of dealing and saving effort, hence the students started researching and knew more about the field of KNX and learned more and heard the educational videos on the official website of KNX association and over time a special laboratory was set up for KNX
