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

18 Is an 18th Century Maison du Vigneron which we renovated as a family home. Our passion for our KNX home led us to become KNX Systems Integrators and our home is now a real life KNX experience. The house has zone controlled underfloor heating as well as air conditioning controlled by KNX and mechanical ventilation heat recovery throughout. All rooms have solar shading in the form of orientable shading or screens inbuilt into the windows controlled on Smartphones/ipads, KNX pushbuttons, Ellies or home automations. Audio is distributed throughout & the Samsung Frame TV is integrated with a Miro The main living space is open plan – this was originally the wine cave large doors open onto the terrasse with Orientable Sun Blinds to protect against overheating in Summer. These are mostly controlled using Scenarios. The central hub of the open plan space is the wall mounted IPAD which has full home control using Basalte Home & controls the Thermomix & Smart Garden.
