Beijing Airport Terminal 1

Building Description:
Beijing Airport is one of the world's main international airports, serving the capital city Beijing in the P.R. China. In 2004, it officially became the busiest airport in Asia based on the number of aircraft landings and take offs. The ABB i-bus® EIB / KNX was installed in order to provide the building and its users with an optimal lighting control system.
 

Among major projects in the UK that have exploited the capabilities of the KNX standard for building automation are Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport

Operate around the clock. Lighting, shading and air-conditioning are needed constantly and must work without problem. KNX bus ensures that travellers have a pleasant stay and that the ground staff can work professionally and to full capacity.

As an additional function, the bus system can monitor the widely branching electrical systems and automates standard processes, such as recording energy consumption and billing of the airport shops.

KNX bus also stands out thanks to its compatibility, which enables it to be integrated seamlessly into the IT environment via the local area network (LAN). This gives you a high level of transparency and low infrastructure costs at Stations, Bus Terminals and Airports.

Lighting and climate control make up the largest proportion of electrical energy costs in buildings. Depending on how the system is actually employed, the KNX bus enables savings of up to 60 % on normal costs. KNX technology therefore visibly increases the efficiency of your building – a decisive competitive advantage for tenants or investors. It is essential to position yourself on the market with attractive, efficient buildings to make travellers feel more relaxed.
