The awards are open to designers, installers, system integrators, schools and other active players. Entries are available for seven different categories (Energy Efficiency, Social, Hospitality, Public Administration, Best National Project, and then for projects submitted by research centres and schools). The awards will be presented as traditionally during the KNX Day, next November.

The initiative, sponsored by the Fondazione degli Architetti di Firenze and in the process of being accredited, involves tutoring each participant by a KNX Professional – designers and system integrators who operate using the standard – in order to realise a project that combines energy efficiency and user-friendliness through automation solutions, in five different categories: Classroom, residential building, disability support, conference room, hotel room.
