SMART BUILDING What is the advantage of investing in KNX? Each new technology gives rise to many questions. The first is: Is it worth the effort? The answer is twofold. Yes, the KNX standard makes planning, setup and operation more efficient. And the second yes, it raises the value of a building because something is added to the improved technical efficiency. Smart building systems technology provides people with an ideal environment for greater motivation and productivity.

ABB I - BUS® KNX AN INTELLIGENT INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE Added value with KNX The more intelligent system The only open global standard for building systems technology accomplishes more. KNX creates the highest possible protection of investment and flexibility. It allows for the largest variety of options, and controls and automates the essential applications of a building. The entire capability to perform can be immediately felt by everyone, in matters of safety, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lights and shading. A new level of efficiency is created for lessees, users and...

— The best investment In every situation and at all times Reliability The system does not fail if one has a clear overview of all values and one can respond immediately when necessary. Monitoring and maintenance are simplified noticeably. Energy efficiency The intelligent and networked control minimises the consumption of energy while functioning perfectly – ideal for light, shading, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Flexibility The functions of the building change during the course of decades. The bus system always remains flexible: everything that is necessary can be extended and...
