FORUM HOUSE HIGHLIGHTS THE INTELLIGENT BUILDING OF KNX
 The ability of KNX intelligent
building technology to integrate and manage many
different building services functions and systems is
being clearly demonstrated at Forum House in Cheshire.
Here, KNX fully controls a typical mulit-purpose
commercial headquarters building with a floor space of
3000 square metres on two floors.
Constructed three years ago, Forum House has KNX
installed throughout to control all heating, lighting,
and air conditioning products from a range of different
manufacturers as well as external blinds. It also meters
all the utilities and allows the building occupiers to
monitor remotely all external gates, lights and blinds.
This is especially useful during periods when the
building is unoccupied, such as during shutdowns or
weekends.
The benefits of constant lighting control or blinds
lifting automatically due to the angle and position of
the sun are invaluable from an energy conservation point
of view and enhance the benefits of solar shading.
Savings in excess of 30% have been calculated on the
reduced running costs and the benefits to the building
users have proven priceless from a comfort point of
view.
Forum House further highlights how KNX technology works
passively and automatically without the need for
building occupier interaction. When the building’s
offices and showrooms are changed or given a different
purpose, KNX can be adapted to the new requirements as
one of the major benefits of KNX is its ability to
seamlessly add more functionality when required.
Furthermore, KNX is distributed technology so should
there be any local failure; it does not result in all
the building’s services not working.
At Forum House, KNX covers a diversity of building
functions using one standard, this means that the
cabling network is very simple and the KNX controlled
devices are based around the standard green KNX twisted
pair bus cable.
Forum House was originally planned from its conception
as a building that would be a working example of how
flexible and reliable KNX can be. It has proven a huge
success in attracting consultants and architects to
experience the benefits of KNX technology in a real
working environment. Forum Technik, a member of the KNX
UK Association, completed installation and systems
integration.
Full details of KNX technology and the vast range of KNX
products available, which fully comply with EN 50090 the
European Standard for Home and Building Electronic
Systems are available from KNX UK, PO Box 4082,
