Online Learning, by Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co KG
Beauty is about more than aesthetics alone. One of the most important principles of good interior design is that form and function should be considered in equal measure. A beautifully designed smart system can bring comfort, convenience and environmental consciousness into your life. This CPD seminar walks the architect through real life examples of intelligent technology meeting breathtaking design. It also discusses KNX, an open protocol system, and the myths that surround it.

Since Gira Giersiepen was founded, people have remained at the centre of all it does. Today, the company’s pioneering system solutions for networked building control set new benchmarks, including smart home and building systems, user-friendly and secure devices for controlling lighting, climate systems and blinds, as well as door intercoms, multimedia and security technology. Gira Giersiepen also insists on using development and production processes that are socially and environmentally sustainable, striving to work in ways that protect our planet and its resources, while achieving design and functional perfection. This is why Gira products are used around the world. The Gira product range includes switches, socket outlets, smart home systems, security products, door intercoms, lighting and blind controls and thermostats.
