4. Can all your demands be met under one roof?
Anyone planning to build a new private home or commercial building can expect more than just a lot of hard work.
They also face the challenge of meeting any number of:
individual requirements
technical requirements
financial requirements
increased enormously in recent years in the areas of:
building management
electrical installation
where many different factors have to be taken into account
Anyone planning to build a new private home or commercial
building can expect more than just a lot of hard work.
They also face the challenge of meeting any number of
individual technical and financial requirements.
And these demands have increased enormously
in recent years. This is particularly true in the areas
of building management and electrical installation,
where many different factors have to be taken into account.
YES, Schneider Electric KNX can do it!

5. Can all your demands be met under one roof?
