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

This project is a fully integrated KNX-based smart villa in Tabriz, Iran, designed to deliver high-end comfort, energy efficiency and reliable operation. The installation includes advanced lighting control using both DALI and DMX for dimming, scenes and colour control, combined with presence-based automation and time schedules. HVAC is implemented with individual room control and fan coil management, ensuring stable temperature control in each zone. A weather station is used for automated blind and shutter control, including wind/rain protection and sun-dependent shading. The system is operated through push buttons, touch panels and mobile devices, and also includes intercom integration for daily convenience. KNX was selected as the main platform due to its open standard, flexibility and seamless multi-protocol integration.
