In short

KNX Foundation is a certification in smart building automation, covering KNX architecture, ETS6 and KNX Secure. ThinkProp delivers the 26-hour course over four days in the UAE.

Buyers and tenants in the UAE increasingly expect smart homes, and developers are building smart-ready as standard, yet most real estate and building professionals cannot speak to how it works or what it is worth. KNX is the worldwide standard for building automation. This foundation gives you the technical grounding to understand, design and commission a basic KNX system, and the commercial grounding to explain what smart-ready does for property value.
