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

Unique Building is a 9-story office building located in the immediate vicinity of Palas Mall in Iasi. It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and operates on the BMS (Building Management System) protocol KNX. The building features over 240 KNX devices, branded by Schneider Electric and Eelectron. Some of its functionalities include lighting control (both on-off using the classic system and dimmable using the DALI protocol), HVAC system control, bathroom fan control, access control, elevator control, barrier and garage door control, fresh air level and humidity monitoring, building consumption monitoring, panic mode, alarm integration. Numerous scenario were created for this project such as: Panic mode, Fire alarm mode, Parking humidity control mode, Elevator unlock mode, Exterior light control, Interior light control, Lack of energy scenario. All the equipment are housed within a robust IP network, safeguarding against hundreds of daily brute-force and phishing attacks.
