How to get smart buildings ready for autumn

Autumn has arrived in Europe, the days are getting shorter and temperatures are dropping.

Do you have constant temperatures all year round? No matter what the climate is like outside, the focus in smart homes should always be on living comfort and cosiness. This not only includes smart room temperature control, but also appropriate ventilation control and high air quality.

Find out how you can ensure this with the help of building automation and KNX in this newsletter. With the practical checklist, you can equip smart buildings optimally for every climate zone.

Check #1

Efficient control of heating & ventilation

When temperatures outside are very high or very low, precise heating and ventilation control is particularly important.

With our Cala and eTR series (available in KNX and Modbus), you can regulate your heating and ventilation systems efficiently and benefit from flexible control options and optimum comfort.

Keep an eye on air quality

If it's very hot or very cold outside, people don't like to ventilate. With the CO2 sensors Air Vision and Cala KNX IL CO2, you can always keep an eye on CO2 values and indoor air quality.

Both devices use visual signals to warn you of poor air quality. While you have to provide fresh air yourself with Air Vision, Cala KNX IL CO2 controls ventilation systems automatically.

Customise lighting control

The right lighting control plays a key role, especially when there is little or a lot of daylight.

Our KNX DALI Gateways not only offer classic lighting control with DALI via KNX, but also enable lighting that is customised to the biorhythm thanks to Human Centric Lighting.

Consider building protection

Whether electronic, with ultrasound or shell cross: With our KNX weather stations, you can protect your smart building from stormy winds.

They reliably record weather data and help you to automatically control roller shutters or awnings to prevent damage.
