Case study

Overview, challenge and solution.

Two parallel automation options, wired KNX and wireless Zigbee, prepared from the interior drawings of a residence in Thrissur, working with the project’s interior designers.

Status: two bills of quantities prepared for comparison. Installation details and outcomes are not published.

Challenge

Give the client a like for like comparison of wired and wireless automation.

Solution

Two bills of quantities prepared in parallel from the ceiling and switch drawings: a KNX option with display type control panels and motorised curtain provision, and a Zigbee option.

Implementation

Engineering approach: both options were built from the same ceiling and switch drawings so the client could compare like for like. The KNX option uses display type control panels and includes provision for motorised curtains; the Zigbee option offers a wireless alternative for the same rooms and functions.
