Effiziente Lichtsteuerung mit KNX Technik

The recipe for over 20 years of success at Ingenieurbüro Sulzer in Vogt, Germany, has been state-of-the-art planning of technical building projects. The family company with over 40 staff became established in technical engineering services such as planning, consultancy and construction management. For their own new building, the engineers were aiming high: a zero-energy building was planned, which demonstrably had to consume no more energy than it produced.

All the building technology was connected up with a KNX system. A particular focus in optimising energy consumption was on intelligent mixed light regulation, as lighting alone can make up a large proportion of total energy consumption. The PD11-KNX occupancy detector looks after demand-driven lighting control in the offices. Depending on sunlight levels, it adds in only the artificial light that is required at that moment. For illumination of open plan offices, PD2-KNX occupancy detectors were installed. In the hallways, PD4-KNX occupancy detectors were fitted, which cover large spaces with their wide detection area. In rooms that are not permanently occupied, such as equipment rooms and stores, motion detectors with no KNX connection were installed. The entrance area and the exterior facilities were covered by four RC-plus next exterior motion detectors.
