Enhanced energy efficiency in retirement

and nursing homes – with Synco and

GAMMA building systems

Retirement and nursing homes require special technical solutions. What is needed are

low construction costs, a high level of flexibility to be able to easily rearrange spaces,

economical operation, safety and comfort. The buildings must ensure optimum work-

ing and living conditions, low energy consumption, safe operation, protection from

damage, and security in emergency situations. Building systems based on conven-

tional technology cannot satisfy most of these requirements.

As a supplier of products and systems for all sectors of building automation and con-

trol, Siemens offers integrated, energy-efficient and tested solutions – from the pro-

duction of heat and cooling energy to individual room control and from energy distribu-

tion to the power outlet in the hotel room, thus meeting all requirements.

There are different types of integrated applications:

· "Integrated room applications" comprise HVAC, lighting and shading control with the

option of manual intervention from the room

· "Integrated room primary applications" comprise HVAC, lighting and shading control

with the option of manual intervention from the room, but also including a connec-

tion to primary plant, which ensures optimum communication between the room and

the heating/refrigeration plant – guaranteeing maximum energy efficiency

The present Application Manual was made for HVAC and electrical planners and sys-

tem integrators and shows 12 variants of a typical living room application in a retire-

ment and nursing home. The focus is placed on energy efficiency, comfort and safety.

The 12 variants offer a room automation with different kinds of mounting: electrical

panel mounting, ceiling or under floor mounting, flush mounting resp. with radio or

wired communication.

Each application variant is subdivided into the following sections:

· Room setup

· Function description of the devices

· Device list

Due to the fact that applications and functions do not differ very much from each other,

the functions and other common topics a placed in the first section of the document

and are valid for all variants.

Synco devices use standard group addresses to distribute system time and infor-

mation about plant malfunctions. When an application program is downloaded to the

Synco devices via ETS, the group addresses are deleted. For this reason, the special

group addresses must be downloaded via ETS. Otherwise, the Synco devices will not

be able to communicate. The group addresses can be downloaded from the Internet

at www.siemens.com/knx-td

This document describes examples of room applications and makes proposals for

their implementation. For configuration and parameterization of the individual devices,

please refer to the respective application and function sheets which can be download-

ed from the Internet at www.siemens.com/hit or www.siemens.com/knx-td resp. via the

„Siemens Download Center“ (App available).
