Smart apartment buildings
Professional, future-proof solutions
Nowadays, there is a need for smart solutions not only in single-family homes, but also in new condominiums.
A modern apartment should already include features that increase the comfort of the residents and ensure efficient energy management of the condominium. Some smart solutions are already a basic requirement. Residential buildings are designed to last for decades, so it is important to use innovative building technologies that provide opportunities for future upgrades, that have already proven their durability and are likely to be available on the market in the future.

Functions without limits
The specificity of smart controls in condominiums is that the control of individual apartments must be managed separately from the communal areas and must be accessible to all residents. Investors should pay particular attention at the design stage to ensuring that both communal and private spaces are equipped with appropriate smart solutions, and that they choose a building automation system that can ensure the smooth parallel operation of these functions.
Apartments
- heating/cooling control
- lighting control
- shading
- IoT
- multimedia control
Community spaces and services
- presence and motion detectors
- façade and garden lighting
- remote garage and gate opening
- weather station
- e-mobility
- heat control panel
- push notification
Sustainable future
Energy efficiency has become a top priority for consumers committed to a sustainable future. For example, heating or air conditioning can be linked to window opening sensors, so that the system is paused during ventilation. In less frequently used spaces, presence sensors can help prevent energy waste. It is important, however, that these solutions do not negatively affect the occupants' sense of comfort and that the home remains a place of ultimate comfort.

energy efficiency
The KNX certification procedure ensures that different applications used by different manufacturers, different devices and different applications can communicate with each other. This ensures a high degree of flexibility
and expandability of the system. Appliance compliance is verified by independent laboratories. KNX is the only system with a global certification system for the supervision of both buildings, education centres and even designers.
KNX makes the automation of smart homes and smart buildings safe. KNX Secure technology is standardised according to the MSZ/EN 50090-3-4 standard, which means that KNX successfully blocks hacker attacks against the digital infrastructure of networked buildings. In addition KNX Secure complies with the highest
encryption standards (according to ISO 18033-3, such as AES 128 CCM encryption) to effectively prevent attacks on the digital infrastructure of buildings and achieve the highest level of data protection.
It deals with the energy performance of buildings; the implications of building automation, control and building management. It specifies the building automation, control and technical management functions that affect the energy performance of buildings.
Technical options
Wired KNX system
Wireless solutions
The KNX is a decentralised building automation system with a central, symbolic KNX bus wire that provides communication between the individual system components. Devices connected to the common KNX bus communicate directly with each other without central control, so that each system element can operate independently. Therefore, a KNX system ensures a high level of security, flexibility and reliability.
KNX manufacturers are constantly expanding their portfolio, allowing you to design complete systems using only KNX RF products, including shutter controls, switches and dimmers, push buttons, presence detectors, window opening sensors, sockets, binary inputs, remote controls, energy recovery push buttons and KNX Secure devices. This is a growing trend and a bright future for radio solutions in smart condominiums.
Design Award Fittings
Manufacturers with a long history of fittings, such as Berker, are taking great care to represent diversity not only in terms of design but also in terms of materials. A classic-style bourgeois home or a modern loft apartment may require different, even unique solutions. Today, you can choose from slate, leather, wood, glass, concrete or porcelain switches, no limits to your imagination. The use of high quality materials and sophisticated design is of great importance, as it makes these devices not only technologically but also qualitatively timeless.
