Предизвикателство
In a spacious event venue in Spain, comfort, atmosphere, and seamless, intelligent interaction across all trades were paramount. The climate control system had to operate flexibly and efficiently, supported by dynamic shading that automatically adjusts to sunlight and temperature.
The diverse lighting requirements were particularly demanding: from atmospheric interior scenes to complex lighting effects and impressive exterior illuminations that needed to change automatically depending on the event or time of day.
Furthermore, access control had to integrate seamlessly with the existing building technology to create a central, intelligent control system that unites all functions in a single application.
Energy management also played a crucial role: energy consumption had to be analyzed in detail, the pool technology intelligently controlled, and all energy consumers optimized through smart energy management – with the goal of perfectly balancing comfort and efficiency.

A high-performance network of multiple Loxone Miniservers was set up for the event venue to enable flexible, stable, and selective control of the expansive building. This networked structure forms the central brain of the entire system and allows for unified operation of all building services via a single application.
The heating control was implemented using zone-based actuators, allowing each area to be individually temperature-controlled and optimally adapted to its usage.
All central technical systems—including ventilation, heat pump, pool control, and air conditioning—were fully integrated via Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. This allows for precise monitoring, control, and intelligent linking of operating states.
Numerous DALI gateways are used for the sophisticated interior and exterior lighting. They enable dynamic lighting moods, flexible scenes, and impressive light displays that adapt perfectly to events, times of day, or moods. Shading was implemented using Relay Extensions and operates automatically in conjunction with the air conditioning system to maximize energy efficiency and comfort.
All building services were integrated via Modbus, allowing for centralized monitoring and control of all systems.
A particular focus was placed on comprehensive energy monitoring. For this purpose, Loxone Energy Meters (3-phase) and 5A indirect current transformers were installed to transparently record all energy consumption within the building. Based on this detailed data, targeted optimizations could be developed and implemented automatically using intelligent logic functions. This allows for the reduction of peak loads, the control of energy flows, and significant long-term energy cost savings.
