Connected Automation for Efficient Buildings
The Konrad-Zuse-Haus Kiel, located in the Kiel Science Park, is a completed office and commercial building featuring a modern floor plan designed to meet a variety of user requirements. onework provided support through manufacturer-led planning and construction supervision, as well as the integration of smart room and building automation systems. Lighting, indoor climate control, occupancy and daylighting functions, sun shading, energy management, and central control logic were integrated into a scalable automation structure.
Using the onework solution, the Konrad Zuse House was technically configured to reliably support comfort, energy efficiency, and operational safety during day-to-day building operations.
Challenges
Different User Requirements
It had to be possible to operate the facilities in a flexible and convenient manner.
Networked Building Functions
Lighting, indoor climate, sun protection, and occupancy data all had to work together seamlessly.
Operational Safety in Everyday Life
Technical functions had to remain stable, transparent, and maintainable.
Harnessing Efficiency Potential
Automation should reduce energy consumption and have a positive impact on operating costs.
The Solution with onework
onework CORE
onework CORE creates a central integration platform for room and building automation. Building functions are consolidated, control logic is standardized, and operational statuses are made transparent.
Intelligent Lighting Control
Lighting is controlled based on usage and daylight requirements. This ensures good working conditions and prevents unnecessary energy consumption.
Sunshading and Indoor Climate
Shading and indoor climate control are automatically coordinated. This improves comfort and supports efficient building operation.
Energy Management
The automation infrastructure provides the foundation for better understanding energy consumption, ensuring transparency regarding operational status, and leveraging opportunities for optimization during ongoing operations.
