Hello [NAME]

We start this month with the first part of our show report on the recent KNXperience, the KNX Association's first online trade fair dedicated to KNX. This was a week jam-packed with top-class conference sessions and the opportunity for the global KNX community to come together to learn about new products and solutions and interact with each other. It also celebrated some fantastic applications through the KNX Awards, and was a convenient way for newcomers to familiarise themselves with KNX as well, which is a theme that Mark Warburton picks up on his article on why KNX is the ideal standard for market-leading building control projects now and in the future. In this, Mark reminds us of the benefits of KNX and how we must all adapt to the new reality.

As the world population grows and more homes are required, Simon Buddle makes the case for using KNX as the central control platform and using building-wide networks for multi-dwelling units in order to give residents control from their smart phone, as well as enabling the concierge desk to control the apartment when needed. He argues that it helps avoid the build-up of a tangle of multiple control protocols, and stresses that this solution should be proposed as part of the building design process. As the climate warms up, Phil Juneau calls for his home country to meet the challenge of net zero-carbon buildings, and defines a path and methodology for doing so. Unsurprisingly, his solution also involves going back to basic principles of building design and using KNX as the control platform.

We also present you with our top stories, events and resources this month, and if that's not enough, there's plenty more at the website. In addition, if you have any news, projects or topics you would like us to consider for publication, do get in touch!
