5.3 Integration with KNX

Ideally, the integration with KNX can be realized via a Gateway. Thus, a ventilation
system is used, which is integrated and controlled in the KNX system. The procedure is
the same as with a heating boiler or an air conditioning system. When no Gateway is
available, the devices will often be equipped with digital/analogue in- and outputs. These
can be used to influence the operation.

With natural ventilation, the natural night-time cooling is amongst others used to lower the
temperature level. As before, the closing and opening of windows and skylights will assure
air ventilation. The reactions and drive movements depend on the input from e.g. weather
related data or process related data from a weather station or comparable sensors.
