Sustainable sites

A.1. Maintain site lighting to prevent light pollution

Savings from lighting according to requirements

KNX can control large groups of lights, either directly or by integrating the DALI standard, which enables the regulation of LED and fluorescent lights. The control can limit the maximum power values, as well as grouping the lights in lighting scenes. It also enables the use of astronomical clocks and conventional clocks to programme the on and/ or off times. On the other hand, when the external lighting provided is insignificant, the shades or shutters may be lowered to avoid light radiating to the outside.

Water efficiency

B.1. Install Submeters

It is possible to locate elements or rooms that consume more water than the average and then correct this trend and save on resources and energy

A good example in KNX can be found in sensors that are able to measure the water flow through a pipe. Thanks to this, it is possible to display instant information or generate records

Energy & Atmosphere

C.1. Use free energy

Energy saving in HVAC

With KNX, measurements of humidity and temperature can be taken in order to monitor natural ventilation (opening and closing motorised windows strategically).

Materials & Resources

D.1. Design smaller, more flexible homes and buildings

knxforleed Design smaller flexible buildings

Buildings can be designed more rationally to save energy

Thanks to KNX scenes can be programmed, providing flexibility in the rooms. With a scene, the atmosphere can be adapted to suit a particular activity. It also provides for modularity, such as offices with dividing systems.

Indoor Environmental Quality

E.1. Ensure adequate ventilation

Air renewal without losing hardly any HVAC indoors

Thanks to KNX heat exchange systems can be controlled; the air inside a building can be renewed without incurring extra HVAC expenditure. Air renewal can be integrated with other systems that optimise it, such as detection of open windows, cool air recovery on summer nights (free cooling), or humidity and CO2 level management among others.

Our Values

We firmly believe in the efficient use of energy through applying standard control technologies such as KNX and especially its implementation in sustainable buildings certified as LEED.

We are consultants

We help manufacturers and KNX integrators to make their products and control solutions LEED strategies visible. And just as architects and developers to find ways to cope with LEED projects using KNX technology.

We bring knowledge and experience

We work closely with the KNX providing publications and participating in events worldwide. We have direct contact with the whole group of companies that represent standard KNX control. Our professionals have done KNX projects with energy efficiency solutions and have worked in manufacturing companies.

Advise and train

We know the KNX standard control solutions and how to implement them in LEED projects. We connect businesses between both standards and give advice and training to carry out successful projects. We show the characteristics of each KNX product that makes them valuable in monitoring solutions to undertake LEED strategies.

B.2. Select efficient irrigation technologies

Efficient use of irrigation valves and water

With KNX one can avoid watering if it detects that it is raining, or that the soil moisture is good enough. In addition, the irrigation valves can be monitored for full control.

"This book provides an interesting and innovative framework analysis between KNX standard and LEED certification. Active and passive actions that require efficiency in sustainable 21st century buildings, can be defined in LEED strategies and easily implemented using KNX standard technology, resulting in Intelligent Buildings which can already be glimpsed amongst us"

Mensaje cabecera-en

KNX can help to implement LEED strategies with the aim of obtaining a high score in the process of certification, which means a more sustainable and more energy efficient building.
