KNX UK is the national association that promotes both KNX technology and its members within the United Kingdom. The organisation consists of KNX product manufacturers, systems integrators, training providers and specialist wholesalers. The association aims to ensure that KNX technology is the first choice for consultants, architects, engineers and installers in the development of intelligent buildings in both the residential and commercial sectors. KNX is a simple system for intelligent electrical installation networking. A KNX bus cable combines devices and systems and new functions can be easily added in the future as the needs of occupants change and extra functionality is required. KNX is the world's only open STANDARD for all applications in home and building control, ranging from lighting and blind control to systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, monitoring, alarming, water control, energy management, metering as well as household appliances, audio - AV and lots more. KNX products are used to build intelligent integrated building control solutions for domestic and commercial applications. As a result, owners, residents, or managers of these properties have control over the everyday working or living environment. This can cover all building services such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security and metering as well as the operation of blinds, electrical appliances, windows, facades, AV/sound systems and many other functions. KNX UK is part of a network of national associations who are all members of the international KNX Association, which is based in Brussels. Currently this Association has vast worldwide membership from major manufacturers, integrators, training schools, academic institutions and other interested parties.
