1 Synco living combines individual room control with consumption data acquisition Saving energy with innovative home automation Answers for infrastructure.

2 Synco living so many ways to save energy You can rely on the unique and efficient combination of home automation and consumption data acquisition in one system: Synco living allows tenants to comfortably control their building services and it also displays consumption data in an easy-to-understand format. With Synco living, you can always conveniently keep an eye on consumption data. At the same time, energy savings of up to 30% are possible without sacrificing comfort thanks to highly precise, on-demand individual room control with intelligent automation and energy saving functions. 2

3 Home automation that conveniently acquires consumption data A versatile range for intelligent home automation Synco living is a comprehensive home automation system offering a broad spectrum of components. It allows, for example, on-demand control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning plants, lighting and blinds. And a new feature has been added: the easy display of consumption data for heating, cooling, hot and cold water, gas, and electricity because Synco living s range of functions has been expanded to include consumption data acquisition and automatic trans - mission of the values to the relevant service providers. This new function means significantly more convenience for building managers. As the consumption data is sent periodically by and can also be viewed on the Internet, access to the apartment is no longer necessary. This substantially reduces organizational effort and administrative costs. Coordination of site visits and costs for arranging readout dates on site are eliminated. And what s more, the customized, energy-efficient individual room control makes the property more attractive. A flexible system with long-term investment protection Whether in a new building or during a modernization project, Synco living can be installed anywhere even gradually, if desired. The home automation system can be integrated into apartment buildings apartment by apartment. If a building is renovated or if room usage changes, Synco living can be flexibly adapted to the changes and expanded thanks to battery-powered devices that communicate wirelessly. The sum of comprehensive expertise and long-term experience Synco living offers well-proven application expertise from Siemens: All components and functions are based on years of experience in building technologies and are tested in Siemens own HVAC laboratory. Support in every phase Synco living provides home automation and consumption data acquisition in one system. This means that you receive all products from a single source. As a result, all components are optimally matched and you only need to coordinate maintenance with one contact person. Highlights High energy and cost savings ensured by intelligent controls Lower administrative costs thanks to easy readout of consumption data and user-friendly queries via Internet Increased property value as a result of customized individual room control High flexibility, whether for new buildings, expansions, or renovations gradual conversion possible Synco living is based on long-term experience in building automation from Siemens 3

4 QAX903 and QAX913 central apartment units Meter to acquire consumption data Home automation with consumption data acquisition for greater transparency Straightforward, fast readout of consumption data The new method of consumption data acquisition facilitates the data readout for heating, water, electricity, and gas consumption. At the touch of a button, the central apartment unit displays an overview of consumption per meter, and tenants can obtain a quick summary of their consumption. In addition, there s a central readout available on the Internet. The consumption data is sent periodically by and can be read anytime via the Web server. In addition, Synco living reports any attempts at system manipulation. The readout is faster, and tenants don t have to wait at home for the meter reader. Higher property value, lower administrative costs Installing the Synco living home automation system increases the value of the property and satisfies tenants. On the one hand, operating costs are reduced due to the energy-saving individual room control. On the other hand, apartments can be rented more easily thanks to the comfortable control options, lower utility costs, and transparency of consumption. The investment for these benefits is minimal. First of all, Synco living s wireless technology reduces the time and effort of installation. In addition, you receive two functions in one system home automation and consumption data acquisition. And the open communication standard KNX allows you to expand your system anytime, keeping your investment protected over the long term. Highlights Lower administrative costs due to fast consumption data readout via the Web server, e.g. in case of tenant turnover Fewer complaints and increased transparency, as central apartment unit displays all consumption data Increased property value, while operating costs are reduced through individual room control Little installation effort thanks to wireless communication

The QAX913 central apartment unit also increases building safety and security, for example, through presence simulation, door and window monitoring, and integration of water and smoke detectors. In addition, it also enables residents to comfortably control lighting and blinds. Straightforward installation and modification with wireless technology Most components of Synco living communicate by radio and operate using batteries, so that no cables need to be laid. This is why the system can be installed and modified quickly and cleanly, without having to open the walls. The devices can be networked easily, at the touch of a button. The tenants daily routines are barely disturbed, and any necessary system modifications due to tenant changeover can be quickly performed. Same comfort at reduced utility costs Thanks to individual room control and energy saving functions, Synco living reduces energy consumption up to 30% without sacrificing ease and comfort. The system automatically lowers the heat output at night or when a window is opened. The result: a green apartment with lower CO 2 emissions, efficient use of resources, and lower utility costs. Convenient operation of devices attractive design Thanks to the user-friendly product design, tenants can easily set the desired room conditions themselves. Clear buttons and the especially straightforward menu navigation on the central apartment unit enable them to adjust the settings for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and other functions to their requirements without needing a specialist at hand. In addition, thanks to its attractive design, Synco living harmoniously integrates into all types of living environments, up to and including luxury residences. Highlights One system for the entire apartment with HVAC as well as security functions, and lighting and blind control Tenants are hardly disturbed during installation or modification due to wireless technology Same comfort at reduced utility costs up to 30% less energy consumption Straightforward modification of settings without needing a specialist thanks to user-friendly operation 6
