Energy-efficient building and

room automation using KNX

The products and systems from Siemens make it easy to meet your customers’

needs for comfort and economical operation. The desired light level, tempera-

ture and fresh air are available precisely when needed. At the same time, the

building’s energy consumption, operating costs and CO

emissions are reduced.

Time-, presence- and/or brightness-

dependent lighting

Automatic lighting control ensures optimal lighting in rooms

and buildings, limiting the use of artificial lighting to what is

absolutely necessary.

Time-dependent lighting control turns lights on or off or dims

them at preset times. When daylight is available, only as much

artificial light is added to reach the preset brightness level –

and only if somebody is present in the room.

Shading control due to the position of the sun

Shading control based on the position of the sun maximizes

daylight harvesting while minimizing glare. In addition, it

offers optimal protection from external thermal influences,

such as summer heat or winter cold.

Sunlight tracking control synchronizes the slats of the blinds

with the position of the sun and automatically adjusts them

to make sure only diffuse daylight enters the room. This

achieves

the desired light level in the room with minimal glare

and lowers

the energy costs associated with lighting. Shadow

outline tracking increases the amount of daylight by allowing

direct sun exposure in an adjustable area of the room.
