HVAC Control

Automate lighting, temperature

and shutter control in office buildings

Customer’s needs Recommendation

The facility manager wants to realise substantial
energy savings by controlling all the parameters
of lighting, heating and shutters and further to be
able to extend easily the system at any time
without laying new cables.
With the KNX bus system all devices will be
connected via a single bus line. When you
activate a sensor (example: an Altira push-
button), an actuator (example: the KNX blind
actuator) will carry out all the switching
commands required.
For this demand we will use Altira push-button,
movement detector and temperature control unit
in combination with KNX lighting, heating and
blind actuators.

Customer benefits Product advantages

● Lights are automatically controlled according Altira sensors can be installed either in trunking or
to movement detection in corridors, staircases...
directely on walls with coloured cover frames to
● No need to turn the heating up and down get an homogeneous design in the whole room.
manually. The heating is managing individually
via controllable room temperature control unit.
● Roller blinds are easily controlled with more
comfort via the remote control of the IR push-
button.
