At Baulogic, we are proud to announce that our innovative work on the Maple Barn project has been recognised as KNX project of the year. This achievement highlights our commitment to delivering smart home solutions that integrate seamlessly with prime developments.
About the Maple Barn Project
Maple Barn, developed by Kaybee Developments Limited, is a stunning four-bedroom property designed and built to exceptionally high standards. This modern home features a range of sustainable and energy-efficient technologies, making it a showcase for the future of residential living. As part of this high-specification design, Baulogic’s smart home system plays a central role in delivering convenience, efficiency, and comfort. Check out the full Case Study here.
The property includes:
- Heating, lighting, blinds, and security control, all powered by the robust and flexible KNX protocol.
- Sustainability features, such as solar PV panels with battery storage, an air source heat pump, and a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system.
- A highly insulated building envelope, ensuring low running costs and excellent energy efficiency.
How Baulogic Showcases KNX’s Flexibility
Baulogic’s integration of KNX technology into Maple Barn demonstrates the true versatility and adaptability of this open-source protocol. By selecting the best KNX products, we created a unified, modular smart home system tailored to the client’s needs and budget. Key features include:
- A single multi-functional keypad in each room for controlling lighting, shading, and heating.
- Climate control that integrates and harmonises all types of heating and cooling systems, including multi-zone underfloor heating, electric underfloor heating in ensuite bathrooms, and towel rails.
- Smart scene setups for everyday convenience, such as “goodnight,” “goodbye,” and “welcome” modes, which adjust lighting, heating, and security settings with a single command.
- Remote control and monitoring capabilities via the Baulogic app, including live camera feeds and video door intercom functionality.
Designed for Simplicity and the Future
One of the key advantages of our system is its user-friendly design. Sleek and intuitive room controls align perfectly with the home’s contemporary aesthetic, ensuring that anyone can easily manage their environment.
The future-ready KNX system ensures that Maple Barn can grow and adapt with its occupants. Whether it’s a bustling family home or a serene retirement space, Baulogic’s integration of KNX technology guarantees flexibility and adaptability as technologies evolve.
Meeting Developer and Homeowner Needs
For developers like Kaybee Developments, Baulogic provides smart, efficient solutions that enhance the appeal of their projects. In Maple Barn, we resolved key challenges by enabling smarter energy use, such as:
Optimising solar gain by adjusting blinds based on weather conditions.
Offering detailed guidance on heating appliances to minimise energy consumption.
Kaybee Developments’ dedication to sustainability aligns perfectly with our ethos at Baulogic. Together, we have created a home that is not only relevant in today’s market but also future-proofed for years to come.
