Because consumers. Therefore, if our goal is to of it, and the fact that buildings are reduce the energy used in a building supposed to last for a long time, it or home, it’s important to implement becomes important to invest in energy an automated control system that will allow us to adequately control heating, air conditioning, and lighting. Efficient lighting is the best way to save The New Technical Building Code, in its section HE 3, refers to energy savings in lighting installations. The new regulation requires determined rates of energy efficiency and lighting Sistema KNX de Jung, instalado en el Hotel Barcelona Princess. KNX Jung System, instaled in Barcelona Princess Hotel
