Architecturally Award Winning Project With An Environmentally Conscious Airflow Solution

Architecturally Award Winning Project With An Environmentally Conscious Airflow Solution

Sep 7, 2020

In 2018 Architecture Koen won an Educational Architectural Award in the Queensland Architecture Awards for the Springfield Anglican College Year 1 Classrooms. As part of this project, new and existing windows were specified to be interactive with the HVAC system.

As designers, manufacturers, and distributors of quality automation solutions for windows of all styles and sliding doors, Kintrol’s Kbuss system was selected for the project.

The Kintrol Kbuss system is smart – providing an environmentally conscious airflow solution and convenience to the classrooms. When air conditioning is switched on, the windows close automatically and lock to stop them from being opened.

A manual switch installed in each of the classrooms allows individual room operation – providing there are no conflicts with the HVAC and / or timer. A second operation, provided by a touch screen, enables viewing and minor operations including on board security code for operation or adjustment, and function scheduling. The system also contains an ‘auto close’ for building shutdown in the evening, and individual room switching permitting timed operation out of hours.

In addition to these features, the Kintrol Kbuss system is capable of monitoring the environment and reacting when required. In the event of a smoky external fire, windows can automatically close to prevent the spread of fumes. If it becomes too hot inside, windows can automatically open to increase ventilation. If windows are left open when leaving a building, they can be set to close when movement is detected outside. Kintrol automated windows can also be set for rain, strong winds, temperature drops, smog, hail, or even for a specific time.

The new world class Kintrol© Net WiFi Kbuss system is Australian designed and manufactured. Based on plug-n-play technology, this system features onsite viewing as well as offsite viewing and interaction from anywhere in the world with high level security protocols.

Kintrol automated windows and doors provide easy to use, convenient, environmentally conscious airflow solutions and lifestyle options to residential and commercial buildings with the latest advances in design and technology.

Cintrol Net’s Triple Feature Enhancement

Cintrol Net’s Triple Feature Enhancement

Sep 7, 2020

Kintrol’s Cintrol Net self-functioning command system has in recent years become a beacon in the automation of the Australian glass and window industry. Recent new additions to the Brisbane based window and door automation specialist already advanced control system bring even greater control capabilities to users of automated window systems from the convenience of smartphone and tablet devices.

DUAL TOUCHSCREEN OPERATION

The operation of Kintrol automatic window control system, used to manage temperature and ventilation in a wide range of applications, can now be monitored and controlled by two people in two very different locations. This enables the responsibility for the control of any system be shared between two employees. As well as providing a secure back-up control if needed, it also enables continuous monitoring when the main operator is temporarily unable to manage the system, for example during a meeting, or temporarily occupied by another matter.

The dual touchscreen capabilities can also be limited if required, enabling only some of the functionality to be handed to the second operator. Cintrol Net’s comprehensive master and slave capabilities mean that the master operator has complete control over the scheduling and level of capabilities of the slave device.

ONSITE / OFFSITE CONTROL CAPABILITIES

Cintrol Net command systems now include the ability to control functionality from anywhere. Control of an automated system can be carried out both manually on site, and remotely across a WiFi connection. Automated window systems are used in residential, commercial and industrial environments and can just as easily cater to the operation of window furnishing, curtains and screens as they can control large window ventilation systems in school sports halls or manufacturing plants. Now with the ability to control the window system from afar, it is possible to open or close the windows, and the furnishing too if you have them, wherever you are and whenever you need to.

WEATHER STATION INTEGRATION

The inclusion of new wind speed and direction reactivity and rain monitoring sensors now mean that Cintrol Net automation of windows can be set to respond and react to changes in the weather. Built to withstand our extreme Australian weather conditions, they provide the perfect way to manage the ventilation of your premises in summertime, whilst ensuring protection from thunder and dust storms and other unexpected extreme weather events.
