  • every floor has its own electric switchboard, that combines function of distributing electricity with protection and control functions
  • every floor is a sub-system based on KNX, that is integrated into the common ne via IP channels
  • the system is built the same way on the technical floor, but building services are located here, that are not included into the common net of the smart home
