KNX

Kempson Electrical Services, due to our KNX accreditation, are now able to offer all the services associated with the qualification.

What is KNX?

The demand for comfort and versatility in the management of air-conditioning, lighting and access control systems is growing. At the same time, the efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important. The combination of these factors can, however, only be achieved by intelligent control and monitoring of all products involved. This implies more wiring, running from the sensors and actuators to the control and monitoring centres, which in turn means higher design and installation effort, increasing fire risk and soaring costs.

 In order to transfer control data to all building management components, a system is required that does away with the problems of isolated devices by ensuring that all components communicate via one common language, such as the manufacturer and application domains independent KNX Bus. Bus devices can either be sensors or actuators needed for the control of building management equipment such as lighting, blinds/shutters, security systems, energy management, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, signalling and monitoring systems, interfaces to service and building control systems, remote control, metering, audio/video control, white goods, etc. All these functions can be controlled, monitored and signalled via a uniform system without the need for extra control centres.
