KNX ENERGY MANAGEMENT & EFFICIENCY IN MELBOURNE
KNX turns energy from something you pay for and forget into something you can see, understand and control. DUKE Electrical Group, certified KNX Partners, design KNX energy management for Melbourne homes and buildings – metering and monitoring consumption, automating loads, and integrating solar, battery and EV charging so you use more of your own power and waste less.
Because KNX already controls your lighting, HVAC and blinds, it is perfectly placed to manage energy across the whole property. It can measure where power is going, shed or shift non-essential loads at peak times, prioritise self-generated solar, and give you clear insight through dashboards and reports – all on one open, future-proof platform.
What KNX energy management does
Measure and understand. Metering and monitoring show exactly where your energy goes, so decisions are based on data, not guesswork.
Automate and optimise. Shift and shed loads, run appliances when power is cheapest or solar is plentiful, and cut standby waste automatically.
Integrate solar, battery and EV. Prioritise your own generation, charge the car and battery smartly, and get more value from every kilowatt you produce.
You cannot manage what you cannot measure – KNX lets you do both. Call DUKE Electrical Group on 1300 003 853 to build KNX energy management into your Melbourne home or building.

FAQ
What is KNX energy management?
It is using the KNX system to measure, monitor and control how a home or building uses energy – metering consumption, automating and shifting loads, and integrating solar, battery and EV charging – so you waste less and get more value from the power you buy and generate.
How does KNX help reduce energy bills?
By showing you where energy goes, automatically cutting waste (lighting, HVAC and standby loads), shifting flexible loads to cheaper or solar-rich periods, and prioritising self-generated power. Because KNX also runs your lighting and climate, these savings come from the system you already have.
Can KNX integrate with solar and batteries?
Yes. KNX can prioritise self-consumption of your solar, coordinate battery charging and discharging, and run flexible loads when generation is high – helping you buy less from the grid and make the most of your investment.
Can KNX manage EV charging?
Yes. KNX can incorporate EV charging into your energy strategy – charging when power is cheapest or solar is plentiful and balancing it against the rest of the home or building’s demand. We install EV chargers too, and can tie them into your KNX system.
Does KNX show me my energy use?
Yes. With metering and monitoring, KNX provides dashboards and reports that show exactly where your energy is going. That visibility is the first step to real, lasting savings, and it is invaluable for commercial energy and compliance reporting.
Is energy management worthwhile for a home?
It can be, especially with solar, a battery, an EV or high energy use. Even simple measures – visibility, automated load-shedding and better use of solar – add up over time, and they build on the KNX system already controlling your home.
Can KNX reduce peak demand in a commercial building?
Yes. By monitoring loads and shedding or shifting non-critical ones at peak times, KNX can lower peak demand, which is a significant part of many commercial energy bills, while keeping essential operations running.
