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

At a remote senior living facility, Dextro Solutions LLP deployed a KNX-based automation system to enhance comfort, safety, and wellbeing. The highlight was Human Centric Lighting (HCL), programmed to replicate natural daylight cycles, supporting residents’ circadian rhythms and improving sleep, mood, and overall health. DALI 2 DT8 Drivers are used extensively to reach our objectives and these are synced with the Position of the Sun for that Lat Long GPS points. Morning light energizes and evening transitions encourage rest. In addition, KNX automation was extended to water heaters for bathing, ensuring hot water availability on demand while optimizing energy use. For winter comfort, infrared heating in balconies was integrated, allowing residents to enjoy outdoor spaces safely and warmly. These solutions reduce stress, improve quality of life, and demonstrate how KNX can deliver reliability and dignity in senior living, even in remote locations with limited technical support.
