KNX Automation: Buildings and Homes as Smart as Phones
The German sociologist Volker Grassmuck described technology as the promise “to make us master of a world that we command by the push of a button.” What if the air-conditioning, blinds, lighting and access control systems of your office or your home would be controlled so easily? It is actually possible with building automation: a system which provides automated control and monitoring within a building. This is what KNX Automation provides.
Convenience, safety and lower energy consumption can be achieved by the intelligent control and monitoring of all products involved in a building or a private home. This implies more wiring, running from the sensors and actuators to the control and monitoring centres. Such an amount of wiring also means higher design and installation efforts, increased fire risk and soaring costs. KNX Association’s idea is to allow all the building functions (lighting, air-conditioning systems, energy management and security systems) to work via a uniform system. KNX calls it “the principle of interworking.” All devices communicate via one common language: this is building automation made easy.
Building automation is also a guarantee for security: smoke detectors, an alarm system or motion sensors can all be integrated for a reliable and safe building.
Besides, automating a building or a private home will considerably lower costs in terms of energy consumption, at the same level of comfort.
Automatically close your blinds or adjust the lights and temperature according to the weather: in just a few clicks, the settings you need can be created. Therefore, the use of smart technology will increase the productivity of your office and its people as well.
Moreover, mobile applications for Apple iOS and Android smartphones are available. They enable you to control your home in a very fast and intuitive way. You can have access to your KNX devices, entertainment system, door communication systems and IP cameras wherever you are, in real-time.
Established in 1995, Al Mazroui ICAS, a company of the Al Mazroui Group, has been steadily growing in the fields of building automation as well as cables and low current systems. The company has been bringing its expertise, ingenious solutions and high-end products to several prestigious projects, such as the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Eye and the Dubai Mall.
