Applying Urmet with Yokis home automation in the commercial sector
Nelson Mandela International High School in Nantes has been equipped with home automation micro-modules to improve day-to-day management of the school. Thanks to a radio installation, this solution was implemented to meet High School’s specific need for centralized roller shutters. Radio technology proved to be an effective and practical solution, bypassing the initial need to install cables. The advantages of this installation are manifold, allowing:
- centralized control of roller shutters,
- natural lighting management,
- classroom temperature control.
By adopting home automation, Nelson Mandela International High School demonstrates its concern for energy efficiency, user comfort and modernization of its facilities.
