SIEGENIA has extended the scope of its KNX-compatible solutions, enabling not only the company’s window and door drives but also the AEROMAT VT façade ventilator and the AEROPLUS WRG wall-mounted ventilator to be fully integrated into KNX building automation systems.

Smarter Ventilation for Modern Buildings.

The AEROMAT VT façade ventilation system offers planners and architects remarkable flexibility, allowing various device types to be combined within complex ventilation concepts. Meanwhile, the compact AEROPLUS WRG wall-mounted ventilator provides decentralised ventilation with heat recovery, even in renovation projects where space and structure may be limited.

This development makes SIEGENIA one of the few providers to offer a high-performance automated ventilation solution via KNX, enhancing building efficiency and occupant comfort.

Hybrid Solutions Through Smart Connectivity.

A defining advantage of SIEGENIA’s approach is the ability to connect window ventilation systems and decentralised ventilation units through building automation, creating a hybrid solution. This seamless integration supports architects, fabricators and planners working on high-end residential and commercial projects where building management systems (BMS) are a must.

The certified KNX gateway, compact and versatile, forms the backbone of the integration. Supporting KNX Secure encrypted communication, it can be installed either in-wall or via top-hat rail mounting, ensuring both flexibility and security.

Enhanced Scenarios for Comfort and Efficiency.

By incorporating ventilation units into KNX, users can create intelligent scenarios to optimise indoor environments.

Office buildings: The AEROMAT VT can be paired with heating and blinds to deliver passive cooling. For instance, if sensors detect high indoor temperatures caused by solar radiation, heating is reduced, blinds are lowered, and the ventilators switch to cross-ventilation mode, improving comfort while cutting energy consumption.

After-hours energy savings: Buildings can be programmed to reduce air exchange rates, lower room temperatures, and close windows outside working hours, ensuring energy-efficient operation.

Residential applications: In summer, the AEROPLUS WRG can be used for night cooling. Windows tilt open at a set time while the unit switches to supply-air-only mode, drawing in cool outside air to maintain a pleasant indoor climate.

A Complete Vision for Building Automation.

From intuitive operation and healthy indoor air to energy efficiency, burglar resistance and accessibility, SIEGENIA’s KNX-enabled ventilation solutions give architects and developers the tools to design buildings that adapt intelligently to user needs.
