OPTIMISING SELF-CONSUMPTION USING HOME AUTOMATION
Impressive synergy between Fronius photovoltaic systems and Loxone home automation systems
Marchtrenk, Austria: Manuel Hörzenauer could definitely be called
a tech geek. In both his professional and home life, he takes a keen
interest in the relationships between technical systems and the potential offered by intelligent systems. Hardly surprising then that
he installed a Loxone home automation system alongside a photovoltaic system when his new home was being built.
“We control almost everything in the house using the Loxone home automation system - from the blinds to the air source heat pump and the
alarm system,” confirms Manuel Hörzenauer. The integrated energy
management system enables certain consumers to be turned on and
off as appropriate. For example, the shutters are closed automatically
once the temperature in the house reaches a certain level.
“For me it is important to know how we are using energy. Even though
we are out of the house all day, we use around a third of the solar energy
we produce ourselves. I think we owe it to our children to actively seek
ways to reduce our CO
emissions.”
