In this newly published flyer,<br />
<strong>KNX</strong> projects showcase the<br />
opportunities for energy efficiency,<br />
lighting systems and<br />

energy savings potential<br />
is possible: 40 % with shading<br />
control, 50 % with individual<br />

Three weeks after the release<br />
of ETS4 in October 2010, an<br />
ETS4 Workshop took place<br />
with experts, trainers and<br />
beginners in Finland.<br />
During the seminar, all delegates<br />
received a detailed<br />
introduction to ETS4. André<br />
Hänel, <strong>KNX</strong> Association,<br />
showed the essential differences<br />
and improvements<br />
compared to ETS, as well as<br />
tips and tricks for the transition<br />
to the new tool.<br />
A specific discussion took<br />
place about how they could<br />
improve and integrate <strong>KNX</strong><br />
in their trainings sessions<br />
and courses, including the<br />
new ETS4 tool, in the future.<br />
Subsequently there was a<br />
discussion forum about the<br />
areas of improvement of the<br />
<strong>KNX</strong> standards and a better<br />
integration in training<br />
courses. At the end of the<br />
workshop, all participants, in<br />
particular the trainers, were<br />
very satisfied and ready to<br />
spread their knowledge.<br />
