The rise of automation and digitalization in building technologies is driving demand for new skills. New training solutions help educators stay ahead of these shifts and prepare students to succeed in a rapidly evolving field — making buildings smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient.
DALI: Intelligent Lighting Control
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) enables flexible, digital control of lighting systems in commercial and industrial settings. Learners must gain practical experience in implementing the DALI bus system, designing lighting scenes, configuring control options, and more.
Our dedicated DALI training kit makes it easy to explore smart lighting control in a structured, hands-on environment.
KNX: The Language of Smart Buildings
KNX (Konnex) is a global standard for building automation, used to control lighting, blinds, heating, security systems, and other building functions. As the backbone of smart buildings, it requires learners to understand network technologies and master KNX/EIB (European Installation Bus) programming and configuration.
Our KNX smart home training kit integrates these topics into a compact, ready-to-use system.
Smart Home Systems: Integrated Learning Across Technologies
Smart home systems bring together various technologies to create efficient, comfortable living environments. Students need to understand system architecture, data acquisition and transmission, device integration, and data backup processes.
Our new smart home training package equips learners to design and link intelligent devices that optimize energy use and comfort across building systems.
