Do bus installations make sense financially?

Building owners and tradespeople ask this one of the first questions when considering bus technology. As so often – it depends.

At first glance, bus systems appear more expensive than conventional installations.

What need to be considered are the benefits offered by a system over its entire service life. 

Depending on the building type, the following may be compelling arguments for

choosing a bus system:

• In situations where the customer wants many different functions, a bus system will be easier and cheaper to install than an equivalent conventional installation

• In situations where the customer wants many different functions, a bus system will also be less complex than a standard installation.

• Continuous energy savings and hence lower operating costs

• Greater comfort and convenience

• Easier to operate for older people / conducive to senior-friendly living

• Flexible, future-proof installations

• Safety/security (presence simulation, alarms in case of break-in attempts, freezer door alarms, panic buttons with telephone links, etc.)

Electrical installations are changing. Customers need to be shown the benefits of a future-proof KNX installation to decide whether the initial higher investment is justified by the long-term reduction in operating costs.

The benefits of bus technology are undeniable. Already, new commercial and institutional buildings, in other words, schools, events venues, offices, hotels, doctors’ surgeries, law firms, and production sites, are generally equipped with KNX bus installations. In these buildings, bus technology often costs less than a conventional electrical installation, even in the wiring stage.

KNX is your benefit and will make your life much easier and more comfortable.

KNX is for future-oriented people

Many new construction projects are still being built without proper building technology and planning for the future. Maybe together we can change that.
