FAQ
What is KNX building control?
KNX building control is a building automation approach that runs lighting, HVAC, blinds, energy and other services on the open KNX standard. It replaces separate, proprietary control systems with one interoperable platform, making buildings cheaper to run and easier to manage and expand.
How does KNX reduce a building's running costs?
Through daylight harvesting, presence detection, HVAC zoning, scheduling and precise control, KNX ensures energy is only used where and when it is needed. Central monitoring lets you see and tune performance, and these savings compound across a large building year after year.
Does KNX avoid vendor lock-in?
Yes, and it is one of the biggest reasons building owners choose it. KNX is an open international standard with 500+ manufacturers, so you can specify devices from many suppliers and are never trapped with a single proprietary vendor for upgrades and service.
Can KNX integrate with our HVAC, access control and BMS?
Yes. KNX is designed to integrate. It controls HVAC and can interface with access control, security, metering and higher-level building management systems, so your building operates as one coordinated whole rather than a set of silos.
Is KNX suitable for multi-site or staged buildings?
Very. KNX scales from a single floor to multi-storey and multi-site estates, and its open, modular nature makes staged rollouts and future expansion straightforward – you add tenancies, floors and functions without replacing the core system.
Who manages a KNX building day to day?
We set up interfaces suited to your facilities team – from simple wall controls and schedules to a central management dashboard with monitoring and reporting. We also provide training and ongoing support so your staff are confident running it.
Can you take over an existing KNX or building-control system?
Yes. We audit, document in ETS, service and expand existing KNX installations, and can advise on migrating tired proprietary systems onto the open KNX standard as part of an upgrade.
Are you licensed for commercial electrical and control work?
Yes. DUKE Electrical Group are licensed electricians (REC 35838), fully insured, and experienced across commercial electrical, lighting-control and automation work – so your KNX building project is delivered safely, compliantly and to a high standard.
