Hello [NAME]

Autumn is here and academics are going back to school. None will be more pleased than those in St. John's College, Cambridge, who, according to Stephen Payne of B.E.G., will now be enjoying automated lighting and lower bills in their refurbished New Court building. In his case study, Stephen describes the considerations and solutions when adding control to architecturally-sensitive buildings such as this.

Fresh from the CEDIA Expo in San Diego, USA, Simon Buddle has been inspired to inform us about water leak detection in KNX installations. Simon discusses the different types of technology available to detect leaks and prevent potentially ruinous damage to your clients' buildings.

Following on from Jesus Arias' overview of KNX RF last month, Christian Gossé of Actimage, explains how KNX RF is being used with the Linky smart meter that is being rolled out across France. This will give people the ability to monitor their energy usage and control their domestic appliances in intelligent ways in order to consume less energy and make the most of cheaper tariffs. Given the recent IPCC report on global warming, Christian's article is certainly on message.

And finally, also fresh from CEDIA Expo, Mark Warburton of Ivory Egg reminds us that we can sometimes get stuck in our ways when it comes to programming. He points out that the release of ETS5.5 saw the Channels and Functions method of programming become fully functional. This provides a completely different approach to linking objects with group addresses, and once setup, can lead to major time savings, as can the new room labels and icons feature.

We also have plenty of news at the website, plus the resources section which is packed full of useful documents and videos. If you have any projects you would like us to consider for publication, do get in touch, and don't forget to send a picture of you, your smile and the KNX logo for our 'Where is KNX?' gallery!
