Comfort & efficiency
24 March 2014
At the heart of the Siemens Crystal building in London's Royal Victoria Docks, is a Siemens Desigo building energy management system (BEMS) from Siemens, a KNX UK member.

The system controls the building to ensure it operates in the most energy efficient manner. Meeting room chilled beams, trench heating, blinds and lighting are controlled using devices on a KNX network.
A combination of occupancy and CO2 sensors in the meeting rooms put these areas at their "day” setpoints only when a room is occupied. All of this can be controlled via room units, and occupants can use third party touch screens in each meeting room. This total room automation solution balances energy efficiency with occupant comfort.
