PROJECT: TOWNHOUSE RENOVATION // INTEGRATOR: FUNCTION CONTROL

Brief

Function Control were appointed to oversee the full design, specification, supply & programming of this high-spec, luxury townhouse renovation in Edinburgh. The client was an existing customer who had a very similar KNX townhouse project completed by the Function Control team in 2019 and already saw the benefit of a wired, reliable automation system.

The property is split into a 4 floor Townhouse, Basement apartment and 2 converted Mews properties at the rear of the building. The client required all to have individual self-contained KNX systems so the property can be split into individual units in the event they are separately sold, but have been prewired so that they can be combined at a later date. Specific functional elements required included lighting control (with presence detection), zoned radiator and electric underfloor heating control, firm alarm interfacing, leakage detection, multi-room audio, whole home wifi, intercom / cctv and remote access & support.

Solution

To fulfil all function points, and to allow the system flexibility in the multiple areas a tailored KNX system was deployed, comprising of x7 KNX control panels, Gira Pushbutton Sensor 3 keypads, Zennio touchscreens and x4 Data & AV racks.

Additionally, Function Control carried out the full lighting design for the property to ensure all rooms / zones provided the best suited lighting environments.

Benefits

• System flexibility across all areas for separated / combined used subject to selling requirements.
• Full system control.
• Personalised lighting design.

Result

This renovation project not only had a long list of functional elements to be integrated together, but a system infrastructure to allow both the individual usage of multiple zones and combined control throughout subject to building use. Once again for the client KNX was the perfect fit.
