Michael has recently become a KNX Partner. To qualify as a partner, he had to complete two intensive courses, which involved theoretical and practical training. The training took place in Germany and the UK.
Experience
Building Automation Systems has been involved with some high profile developments, including the Coega Multi-purpose Office Centre, the Nelson Mandela Bay 2010 Stadium and the Marine Park Conference Centre in East London.
The Nelson Mandela Bay 2010 Stadium was our biggest project to date, with hundreds of circuits and points needing to be programmed. The majority of the lighting for the stadium can be controlled from a single point. This reduces the workload of the stadium management and makes the stadium more energy efficient.
