The KNX standard is entirely compliant with
norm EN 50090 on HBES (Home and Building
Electronic Systems) systems)
For customers, the variety and availability of KNX products has no
comparison in other technological areas, and the system openness translates
into the highest free choice, thereby avoiding the disadvantageous dependence
of having to buy from a single supplier. Thanks to the modularity of the system, a
project can be extended in time, starting with a basic configuration and adding more
functions later. The native interoperability of KNX products is fundamental
to technicians, as it allows to design a system by always choosing the most
suitable technical options, reducing compromise and ties caused by isolated systems
which do not converse with one another. Moreover, the system offers new
professional opportunities to designers and system integrators, making
it possible to receive a consistent and high-level technical training and
become certified KNX Partners.
The KNX standard
Great developments in the field of home and building automation were made
possible especially thanks to an open, modular and interoperable standard like KNX.
This innovative standard was born from the merging of three European systems
(EIB, BatiBUS and EHS), developed and brought to the market in the early 90’s.
The diffusion of the system was facilitated by an intense work of cooperation at
normative level in the standard committee at European level. For this reason, too,
KNX is a standard characterized by a total conformity with norm EN
50090 on electronic systems for the control of homes and buildings (HBES, Home
and Building Electronic Systems).
The twenty-year presence on the market of this standard offers the best guarantee
in terms of reliability and consolidation of the technology used. The openness of the
standard and that of the KNX Association, on the other hand, ensure availability of
products in the long run and a constant development, both in terms of technology and
offering of products, functions and applications.
The vitality of KNX proposals is witnessed by the sustained expansion of the
association, seeing the entry of manufacturers, coming from many different areas,
and from the tens of thousands of technicians who chose it to specialize in the field
of building automation.
Achievable savings with the adoption of the KNX system for Home &
Building control:
40% over shutters control
50% over individual ambient control
60% over ambient lighting control
60% over ventilation control
