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 , Timed Control , Automatic Occupancy Detection , Constant Light Control
  • Blind and Shutter Control: Individual Control , Group & Central Control , Preset Positioning , Wind and Rain Protection
  • Security and Safety: Faults (e.g. Leak Detection, Glass Break Detection, Window Contacts) , Emergency Lighting
  • Operation and Visualisation: Switches / Push Buttons , PC Visualisation , Web Servers , Touch Panels & Display Panels
  • Automation and Remote Access: Timed Functions , Logical Functions , System Supervision

Customer's description

Bereits von außen wirkt das Berliner Schloss im Herzen der Hauptstadt imposant. Mit liebe zum Detail werden die ursprünglichen Außenfassaden des Gebäudes restauriert. Insgesamt 100.00m² Grundfläche mit 41.000m² Nutzfläche werden hier mit modernster Technik entsprechend höchsten Sicherheitsansprüchen bestückt. Die Grundfläche des Gebäudes ist so groß wie drei Fußballfelder, von der bereit gestellten Energie könnten circa 1.000 Einfamilienhäuser versorgt werden. Die Funktionen der KNX Anlage umfassen zum einen die Verdunklungs- und Beleuchtungsanlagen, als auch Anbindungen an die Systeme der Brandmeldeanlage, Sicherheitsbeleuchtung, Einbruchmeldeanlage, Medientechnik, DMX, Schüco, RWA und BACnet. Zum ändern der Beleuchtung, des Sonnenschutzes oder zum erfassen von Störmeldungen stehen über 80, auf der Fläche verteilte Tableaus, zur Verfügung, diese zeigen eine Visualisierung welche weit über 1.400 Seiten Stark ist an.
