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

With uninterrupted views across London, this spectacular 5 bedroom Penthouse apartment in the heart of Knightsbridge effortlessly combines luxurious and contemporary design with modern living. Throughout the property, all elements, including lighting control, automated shading, climate control, security control, audio and multi-room TVs, have been carefully considered to provide the desired functionality and efficiency whilst maintaining the understated and discreet presence required. Responding to the client's wishes, a Control4 system was used as the user-friendly interface for AV and lighting. This interface was seamlessly intertwined with the KNX core, ensuring that every room boasts a singular control panel and avoids any unsightly wall acne. This unified approach, governing AV, lighting scenes, shading, and heating, reduces wall clutter and lends an elegant, streamlined look to every corner of the penthouse.
