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

Pharaohs Valley is an Egyptian-style restaurant with an outdoor seating area and a kids' zone, fully controlled and monitored by KNX. The KNX system optimizes lighting, HVAC, and energy use, reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. By integrating CCTV and fire alarms, we ensure security and safety. The smart irrigation system controls the landscape and outdoor irrigation, saving over 35% of water and reducing waste. It also injects fresh air by opening doors and windows when the setpoint matches the outdoor temperature, saving energy. Additionally, a counter in the kids' zone alarms if any child leaves the area for safety. All systems are connected to the central management center of the company, which owns the restaurant chains in Dubai. This centralized approach ensures efficient monitoring and management of operations, enhancing overall performance and customer experience.
