New guidelines to save energy and lower operating costs and greater requirements for comfort and design require a more sophisticated interaction between a building's various technical installations. The modular and compact room automation stations combine lighting, shading, and HVAC in one total solution and provide a direct connection to the automation stations via BACnet.
