Schools are dependent on the reliable observation of different processes which vary from day to day in order to ensure the smooth running of the school. The extensive automation options of Element/KNX allow the greatest precision in terms of building control.
Schools often run on a tight budget. The "as needed" control of lighting, shading, heating or ventilation leads to significant savings in running costs and protects the environment.
The integration of monitoring and security functions into the "networked" system also takes into account the fact that public institutions have particular needs with regard to personal and operational safety.

Whether it's movie night, an intimate dinner for two, a business party or a quiet Sunday brunch reading the newspaper, lighting establishes the right mood. Traveling out of town or working late? The lights can execute pre-programmed scenes to simulate established lifestyle patterns. Dimmers can adjust internal lighting according to natural light levels in the home or incrementally over a pre-determined time period.
