Iberian Partnership for Technician Excellence, Summer 2012

What we learned in school• Ets3 software

• KNX devices


WHY YOU NEED IT!• Freedom of control• Accessibility• Remote access to controls• Peace of mind• Energy savings• Security• Financial return • Smaller carbon footprint


Mission • Synchronize automatic systems • Lower energy consumption• More convenience • Less mental stress


The systems you can control include:• Lighting• Appliances• Heating and cooling• Security and monitoring systems• Entertainment (home audio and video)• Communications (telephones and intercoms)• Lawn sprinklers


What It can Do for You • Wireless control from anywhere• No fumbling when opening a door• Comfort


Data transmission in control systems• There are four communication media choices:

1. Data bus

2. Powerline

3. Wireless

4. Infrared


New Advances in Automation• Interface Options from

– Pc (Personal Computer)– Home– Office – Cell phone– PDA (personal digital assistant)


Our Home• Located in Tampa, Fl• 3 bedrooms• 2 bathrooms • 2000 square feet under air• Inground pool ( 5000 gal)• 4 person occupancy


Automated Devises We Installed • 1 Wireless Control Panel• 1 A/C Thermostat• 2 Small Appliance Controlers• 2 remote access via wireless communication

devises


Automated Devises We Installed • 10 Window Blind Controllers , Repeters and

Motors • 11 Motion Sensors• 4 Dimmers • 18 Flourescent light bulbs


Automated Devises We Installed • 1 Water Heater Timer• 1 Pool Heater and Thermostat Timer• 1 Pool Pump & Light Timer


Importance of Automation• Save energy• Environmentally friendly• Budget asset • 3 key areas

– Window covering– Thermostats – Lighting


Large energy consumption devises

- Heating

- Cooling


Window Covering + Decoration

+ Radiation

+ Heat

Smart Thermostat+ Reduces power consuption up to 15 %

+ Savings up 10% on energy cost

+ Same benefits for summer and winter


Lighting - Artificial light

- Lights left on

- Energy wasted

+ Automation

+ Saves energy

+ Makes home feel safer


The Energy Triangle+ Heating/Cooling

+ Artificial light

+ Natural light

+ Meshing all together

+ Efficiency and comfort


Typical Electric Bill • $0.05533 kWh < 1000 kWh.

• $0.06533 kWh > 1000 kWh

• $250 to $300 monthly/2000 sq ft home with 4 occupants.


Electric Bill after Automation

• Unit prices are constant

• Reduced electric bill with automation system

• Up 40% bill reduction


Cost vs Savings Summary

• System plus installation was $8,181• 7 years for return of investment cost• Reduced energy consuption • Reduced carbon footprint • Greener world
