energy by intelligent systems!
Improvement starts with a decision about what to implement. In most cases an
energy audit is the first step. Generally, the next identified actions will be passive
measures to fix the basics such as replacing inefficient devices and repairing leaks.
Finally active measures for the optimisation and automation of systems are where
substantial savings can be made.

with KNX Energy Management
Systematic energy management leads to profitability and is better for the environment. With intelligent KNX Energy Management solutions from Schneider Electric you
can achieve the highest level of building control comfort as well as significant energy
savings. Show your customers the green way to a better future and start by making
aware of the consumption. That is where KNX Energy Management starts.

Energy-Efficient Components
Energy is an important subject, not just because of increasing prices. The quest for
handling ressources in a moderate way results from an increased energy awareness.
