Lifestyle Homes

In this day and age it makes sense if you are going to the trouble and expense of building or renovating a property to incorporate technologies that make life more convenient and confortable. KNX is ideally suited for use within the home allowing you to acheive unprecedented levels of integration and convenience that could only be dreamed about even just ten years ago. Combining your lighting, heating and security system controls simplifies the way you and your family interact with your home, but KNX isn't limited to the control of these systems.

There are no real limits on what is acheivable only your imagination and budget. You can add extra features like remote control and monitoring, allowing you to control your home wherever in the world you are - sounds frivolous? Imagine being able to allow a tradesman entry to your home as you sun yourself on the beach in the Mediteranean or simply being able to turn on the heating just before you set off from the office - ideal if you work irregular hours and can't rely on timers.

A KNX home adapts to your lifestyle with ease. You can change the functionality of rooms without having to rewire, turning an office over a large garage into a granny flat is one example we have recently encountered. KNX integrates readily with almost every other system like Crestron or AMX.

Appartments are ideal KNX territiory with the ability of the bus to have communal elements to the like video door entry and weatherstations and for these to be shared to each of the apartments reducing the intitial investment cost for developers as well as energy management to keep down operational cost of heating and lighting in the communal areas whist blind and window control keeps the place looking good.

Whether you are renovating a one bedroomed studio flat in Leeds or developing a 10 bedroom mansion in Kent give i-B a call to talk through a few ideas.
