Simply safe: Higher energy efficiency and more flexibility
thanks to Synco HVAC controllers and GAMMA building control

                                      Answers for infrastructure and cities.
Efficient building technology for retirement and nursing homes
Saving energy, ensuring safety and
staying flexible – day and night
Thanks to coordinated settings and intelligent energy saving functions, GAMMA
building control and Synco™ heating, ventilation and air conditioning controllers
lower the energy consumption and operating costs in retirement and nursing
homes. The advanced system components offer ease of use, ensure reliable
operation even if malfunctions occur and optimize the room climate in living
spaces, dining rooms, lounges and sanitary areas. This provides for optimal
comfort and maximum safety anytime and anywhere.

In addition, your investments are protected because GAMMA building control
components and Synco HVAC controllers are highly flexible and can easily be
adapted to new room configurations, changed occupancy schedules or building
extensions.

Central visualization of all building functions
allows the front desk to intervene at any
time, for example, to adjust the temperature
or use the central power-off feature to turn
off all devices or electrical outlets in a specific
area at the press of a button. This not only
saves energy but prevents potential damage
caused by unattended electrical devices.

In addition, presence and motion detectors
as well as push-button sensors can report
the activities of residents to the front desk.
In an emergency, this identifies the location
where a hazard exists, allowing personnel
to respond quickly and appropriately.
