What was implemented?

General
Smart Sockets

From 2020, the headquarters of KSE Energietechnik GmbH combine many Loxone components and functionalities. Starting with the lighting, to shading and security, the people in charge trust Loxone completely. The main reasons for choosing Loxone were the central control, the simple and user-friendly programming, the intuitive operation and the possibility of using an app or a switch to control the installed products. For the clients, clarity was of primary importance, but energy efficiency was also to be provided. For this purpose, the Smart Sockets, the switchable sockets from Loxone, were used.

Functions in the offices
Weather station, NFC Code Touch

The offices of the company building are named after the solar system and the planets. Access to the Venus office is controlled via the NFC Code Touch, so only authorised personnel have access.

The intelligent room control in the office maintains a balanced temperature and the automatic shading helps with the ideal setting of the blinds, which, for example, depends on the position of the sun or the current wind situation. Of course, the lighting control also runs automatically; among other things, the lighting in the office is switched off centrally by the “leave room” mode.

Multimedia and lighting
Audioserver, LED Ceiling Light RGBW Tree, RGBW 24V Dimmer Tree

The audio server from Loxone can be integrated almost invisibly and absolutely seamlessly into the intelligent building. It can be used as a loud alarm system, intelligent doorbell, for individual announcements in the office and much more. In the KSE company headquarters, an additional signal is set at 12:30 p.m. to initialise the start of the lunch break, and the music mood is then changed. At 1 p.m., the miniserver announces the end of the lunch break with another signal.

Office work is tiring, especially for the eyes. The right lighting is therefore very important and can boost the performance and motivation of KSE employees to the right extent. With the RGBW 24V Dimmer, the lighting in the building can be optimally controlled and thus provides unique lighting moods. In the individual offices, in the corridor, in the kitchenette and even in the changing rooms, the lighting is switched on and off fully automatically only when needed, which in turn supports the goal of making the office building as energy-efficient as possible.

Security
Smoke detector, Window handle, Door & Window Contact, Alarm Siren

The security of the company headquarters is of great importance to those in charge. Thanks to the smart Loxone equipment, the office building can independently monitor whether anyone unauthorised has gained access and triggers an alarm in case of emergency. The lift is also equipped with a door intercom system with camera integration and various zones in the offices can be armed at any time with the help of the Loxone alarm system.

The battery-operated window handle Air uses a vibration sensor to detect if someone is trying to force their way into the house and immediately informs people in charge using The fire and water alarm centre also provides information immediately to prevent major damage to the building.
