Brief:
The client, a director of an electrical company, had seen a KNX system installed by Intecho in action and was impressed by its flexibility and ease-of-use. They were embarking on the refurbishment of their home and were interested in installing an intelligent lighting solution.
As they had a young family and often had guests to stay, Intecho identified that ease-of-use needed to be an essential feature of the scheme.
The opportunity to create ambient lighting for entertaining and to illuminate individual areas with task lighting would also be an advantage.
Intecho Solution:
Intecho met with the client to design the control system.
Employing ergonomics, the most efficient location for each control switch was determined. It was decided that the master control, the in-wall touch screen, was to be installed in the kitchen as this was considered the ‘hub’ of the home and was the space most frequently used by the family.
By understanding how the family use the home, Intecho was able to design the internal and external lighting sequences so that specific areas of the home were illuminated collectively using a combination of movement detectors, switches and the touch screen controller.
