Intelligent building automation for the Gluckenstein school center in Bad Homburg

Building automation
Our servicesWe planned and implemented the entire building automation system for the Gluckenstein school center (KG 480). The connection to a modern control system was made via BACnet IP, KNX, Modbus and M-Bus, whereby all technical components were efficiently networked. A central management solution ensures optimum operability.
Standard-compliant implementation
Planning in accordance with GEG 2024, VDI 3814, DIN EN ISO 16484, complete coverage of HOAI service phases 1-9
Room automation & control
KNX for lighting control, shading and indoor climate
HVAC control
Modbus TCP/RTU for efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning control
Energy monitoring & consumption analysis
M-Bus for precise consumption data acquisition and optimization
Intelligent building communication
BACnet IP enables seamless communication between different building technologies and offers flexible control and monitoring of systems.
Management operating level
The management operating level serves as a central interface for controlling and monitoring all building automation devices, with a user-friendly interface.
Project partnerKreisausschuss des Hochtaunuskreis
Budget of the project85.000 €
Duration of the projectMarch 2024 - ???
During implementation, care was taken to link all systems in such a way as to ensure trouble-free and economical operation. The central management control unit was designed to enable intuitive control of all relevant building functions.
The intelligent building automation system has not only significantly reduced energy consumption, but also improved the indoor climate. Teachers and pupils benefit from needs-based control that creates a pleasant learning environment. In addition, the central monitoring platform enables continuous optimization of energy use and ensures long-term cost savings.
