Integrated room-primary application: Siemens offers an integrated application solution for small and medium-

size retirement and nursing homes which also includes the primary HVAC control part – a fully integrated and

tested solution with products from a single source.

Energy savings through individual room temperature control: Due to individual room control, up to 30%

heating and/or cooling energy can be saved.

Energy savings through time programs: Time programs for each room automatically reduce the room

temperature during the night, on weekends and during holiday periods.

Energy savings thanks to window contact: Room heating is automatically stopped if the window is left open.

So, the actuator will not open to warm up outside air.

Energy savings through presence survey: A presence detector ensures that the lights are automatically

switched off if nobody is in the room. Turning off the lights will never be forgotten when people are leaving.

Thanks to the presence detector, up to 20% lighting energy can be saved.

In addition, when no presence is detected, the room temperature will automatically be lowered by 1 to 2 K. Each

degree of temperature reduction can save up to 6% heating energy.

Energy savings through constant light control: Constant light control helps ensure that only as much

artificial light as necessary is used. Together with the natural light, the users will get optimum lighting conditions

and another 10 to 20% of lighting energy can be saved.

Energy savings through weather monitoring: A weather station protects the blinds from storm damage and

ensures that the blinds are down to protect the room from excessive solar irradiance in the summer. In cold

winter nights, the blinds are automatically lowered to improve the building’s thermal insulation.

Energy savings through blind control: In dependence of the sun position the blind slats are tracked that they

are constantly at right angles to the sun. This saves energy and optimizes the utilization of daylight.

Energy savings through automatic data exchange: Synco living allows the straightforward integration of

Synco 700 controllers via KNX bus and therefore automatic data exchange between room and HVAC primary

plant. With automatic data exchange, the HVAC primary controllers provide only as much heat (or cooling

energy) as demanded by the room controllers. This means that valuable energy can be saved.

Central remote monitoring and control: Occupancy, lighting, the blinds and temperatures of each room can

be monitored and adjusted on a touch panel or Web browser from a central location or when on the move. An

energy efficiency indicator informs the operator when settings are outside predefined limits. So, wrong or

temporarily changed settings will never be forgotten and the building is kept under control at all times.

Reduced installation effort: Wireless KNX RF communication between the Synco living devices including KNX

TP1 bus reduces the installation effort and ensures a high level of flexibility. This technology is ideal for

renovation projects or building types where rooms need to be easily reallocated.
