KNX is an international building control standard that is used to put the intelligence into intelligent buildings. It enables the integration and programming of a range of products from a range of manufacturers using a single software tool. KNX products are all thoroughly tested for compliance, ensuring they operate seamlessly together on a single, simple network.
Iain Gordon is the new President of KNX UK.
Iain is a KNX systems integrator and owns his own company GES Digital based in Hampshire. He has extensive experience of KNX technology including the design and installation of systems in both residential and commercial applications. He says: "The recent Light and Building Exhibition in Frankfurt demonstrated that KNX technology already has a large European market share and this will be increased over the coming years through its fast growing adaptation in the UK. Some very exciting developments will take place here in the very near future and KNX UK members will be the driving force behind these."
The KNX standard forms the underlying technology for the complete lighting controls installation at Terminal 5, Heathrow, the biggest building project in the UK and possibly the largest lighting control installation in Europe.
A KNX-based building control system can be used to conserve energy, and help towards achieving Part L compliance.
