BSEE KNX UK


The growing reach and infiuence of the KNX approach to creang smarter buildings was celebrated at the AGM of the UK’s Naonal KNX Associaon.


manufacturers, wholesaler, training providers and specialist consultants spent a busy day together, sharing and brainstorming new ideas for projects they are working on and exploring ways of helping more project teams to benefit from open source integrated control. The highlight of the day was the 2018 KNX Awards presentation, which put the spotlight on superb, mould- breaking projects like the Urban Sciences Building at Newcastle University, the Microgaming HQ on the Isle of Man (see picture) and brilliantly creative ideas for homes throughout the country.

Building, KNX was identified as the only viable option because the project leaders wanted a common platform across all elements of building control, and to have flexibility to change their strategy within the space as users’ needs changes or to further improve performance. The system designed by intelligent control and monitoring solutions provider IBT Controls works alongside the BMS. It automates all elements within the building, including (via a gateway) DALI lighting. Over 3000 KNX-compatible devices deliver a totally holistic approach to energy usage, ensuring energy efficiency in line with BS EN 15232 rated A. Each point within the system is exposed to BACnet and trended to


allow logging and provide a window on the effects of any changes in use of the HVAC system.


For the, Microgaming HQ, electrical and digital infrastructure specialist Legrand’s KNX installation has been instrumental in creating one of the UK’s 2017 Top 10 Coolest Offices, combining the flexibility to create and manage evolving modern working practices with sustainability. Key features including KNX/DALI controlled smart lighting that automatically switches and dims in stages according to both occupancy and natural daylight to reduce consumption. The 45,000 square feet office is one of the first on the Isle of Man to achieve the BREEAM rating of Excellent.
