Hello [NAME]
With everyone having geared up for a now-postponed Light + Building 2020, there are some announcements that cannot wait, so we have created a Spotlight on Spring 2020 Products. Keep checking back regularly as this will be updated throughout March and April.
ISE 2020 was just ahead of the coronavirus having reached crisis point in Europe, and so it was able to go ahead. We therefore start this month with Simon Buddle's fascinating show roundup of KNX developments that caught his eye, mixed with a little nostalgia, as the show is moving from Amsterdam to Barcelona. Also Mark Warburton gave an excellent presentation at ISE on integrating AV with KNX, and has condensed this into an illuminating article.
Another crisis we all face is the climate, and you will notice from now on that our focus will be increasingly on how brilliant KNX is for saving energy. In his View from America this month, Phil Juneau looks at exploiting the sun to save energy by using KNX to harvest daylight and heat through striking a perfect balance between natural and artificial light and HVAC.
Our articles are rounded off with a case study by Bhavesh Doshi of Entelechy on a luxury hotel development in New Delhi, India, where KNX has been used to save energy whilst facilitating the ultimate guest experience.
Last, but not least, we congratulate KNX Association on KNX IP Secure becoming the world’s first vendor-independent security standard for building automation, as EN ISO 22510. This is a great achievement, and is among a number of top stories, events and resources this month. And if that's not enough, there's plenty more at the website. In addition, if you have any news, projects or topics you would like us to consider for publication, do get in touch!
