Some of the things that building intelligence solutions will do for you
Why use building tech?
Our cars, phones and lives are packed with the latest technology, yet we mostly wire buildings the same way we did in 1950 and expect them to perform differently. This site aims to introduce you to building intelligence and what it can do for you.
Intelligent buildings are:
Modern house building techniques are closing the gap between the technology we take for granted in cars and that of our homes, making homes better to use and look at.
Imagine saving 25% of the power in your home simply by letting the house be in control of the climate for you – turning lights and heating or cooling on only when they are needed.
Intelligent buildings make life easier by automating a huge range of building functions, such as lighting, shading, heating/cooling, AV, security and access. Each one of these functions might not sound like a lot in themselves, but every little bit adds up to making your life a whole lot easier.
Using the technology that is currently available to us to minimise our impact on the environment demonstrates that we care about the planet now and over the lifetime of each new building.
Intelligent building technology gives you the tools to secure your property while you are living in it and when you are away from it.
Healthy homes automatically adjust the environment to optimise airflow, temperature, lighting and ambience to match your mood.

About Ivory Egg
We are here to help you turn your ideas into reality – simply, easily and affordably.

Before the first brick is laid on any new building in today’s modern world, the infrastructure for controlling that building MUST be added to the design. WIFI simply isn’t enough.
In practice the system we recommend most often is KNX. KNX is the only international standard for building control, backed by 30 years of building control excellence. With over 250 million products installed around the world, you can be confident your KNX installation will stand the test of time.
KNX systems operate on a standardised bus cable and use a common language, allowing different products to work together to control all aspects of a building, such as lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, blinds and shutters, security and door communication systems, audio and video, and energy metering. With KNX you will no longer have problems with isolated devices or systems not communicating with each other.
Ivory Egg is here to guide you from your concept right through to the moment you delight in your intelligent new home. We provide advice to you, your architect or designer, and, when you are ready, we will introduce you to a local experienced installer.
