Hello [NAME]
Our articles this month are sponsored by Weinzierl Engineering, and start with a product article by Thomas Weinzierl on a range of the company's wired and wireless solutions for upgrading buildings with KNX. These include a compact series of IO devices for DIN rail, and wireless KNX RF and EnOcean products.
Regular KNXtoday columnist, Simon Buddle, is rightly concerned about climate change and how new regulations will require modern ways of generating heat. He discusses heat pumps and their limitations if space is limited, and describes an exciting new technology, which he has already installed, that can replace wet underfloor heating.
We have a fascinating country profile by Rui Carneiro of KNX Portugal, who describes how KNX has been used over the years for many major projects, from paper mills to football stadiums. More recently, KNX Portugal has presented its members with awards for projects including McDonald’s Restaurants, a corporate HQ and distribution centre, and a grain grinding and storage facility in Angola.
Finally, Colin Price of Ivory Egg discusses why lighting designers might wish to consider using DALI, with a KNX backbone, for residential applications, arguing that it can often provide flexibility and great dimming. Colin gives a helpful overview of how DALI is configured, and summarises its advantages and challenges.
We also present you with our top stories, events and resources this month, and if that's not enough, there's plenty more at the website. And finally, if you have any news or projects you would like us to consider for publication, do get in touch!
