Turning on the air conditioning at random intervals, i.e. only when the room is unbearably hot, or leaving the window open while it is in operation, are common mistakes that happen in office buildings. In addition to this typical trend, employees often forget to turn off, for example, the heating or technology when leaving the office. On the contrary, during working hours they often use artificial light instead of using daylight by pulling the blinds. These seemingly small mistakes, which are not noticed even by an experienced facility manager, lead to significant energy losses in the building. The human factor thus remains the weakest link in the process of reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Only automation can solve this problem.

“For example, people often forget to turn off the lights even at home, where they pay the energy bills themselves, let alone at work, where they do not deal with energy consumption. We live in an accelerated time when employees have many responsibilities and fragmented attention, so they easily skip routine tasks. But today's times also bring many positive things, for example, thanks to smart technologies that take over these routine activities for us, we can focus on more meaningful tasks. The Loxone intelligent system is unique in its complexity. We solve the automation of all routine tasks from the automation and regulation of cooling, heating, lighting, sound, to comprehensive energy management,” added Pavel Lískovec, Branch Manager of Loxone Czech Republic.

What the facility manager cannot see, automation simply records. “Our Loxone system helps facility managers in large administrative buildings, who have all the information about energy flows in one place in the application. They can monitor the information from anywhere and work with technologies remotely, whenever needed. If the facility manager is in charge of managing multiple buildings, they can monitor the energy balance of all of them, again in only one application. On one graph, they can clearly see which building is the most demanding in terms of savings and at the same time they can easily compare it with the others and take meaningful steps that will reduce energy bills,” added Pavel Lískovec.

Almost 75% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU come from energy production and consumption. Buildings are the biggest energy consumers, responsible for 30% of CO2 emissions. Loxone is unique in that it offers a complete energy system that can significantly contribute to meeting CO2 reduction targets in buildings and reduce their energy consumption by up to 50%.
