An 'intelligent building' is a space where all elements -- lighting, air conditioning, security systems or heating -- are able to respond in real time to the occupants' needs and building occupancy patterns. KNX is an international building control standard used to put the 'intelligence' into intelligent buildings. It enables the integration and programming of all KNX products from a range of manufacturers with complete interoperability.
A KNX installation gives the user complete control over all environments to reduce energy costs and give 24 hour overall comfort in all parts of the building.
Via a KNX installation, energy consumption data can be easily gathered regarding the different areas of a building. If a building should need a temporary or permanent redesign rewiring is not necessary as the system can simply be reprogrammed to accommodate any design changes.
Heating and cooling are a major factor in the operating costs of all buildings and a KNX installation can reduce these costs significantly by only fully heating, cooling or ventilating rooms that are occupied whilst unoccupied areas are kept at an optimum temperature with minimal (or no) lighting.
All aspects of a KNX installation can also be manually adjusted to suit any situation.
Complex requirements demand intelligent solutions and a KNX installation designed by Entech gives the user full control over all aspects of lighting, heating, security and ventilation without compromising on comfort.
