6 reasons Irus is different.

We are often asked, “How does Prefect Irus differ from other energy management systems?”

The answer is unsurprisingly simple! No other system can truly claim all the following:

  1. Irus directly controls every room’s heater - individually

Choosing when to ‘actually switch heaters on and off’, is determined by occupancy, ambient temperature, and if windows/doors are open. Monitoring of occupancy, temperature, humidity, light, and sound pressure are standard features. A CO2 module is an easy ‘slot-in’ addition to the control unit.

  1. Irus collects data from each control unit

This provides a holistic view of every site, offering insight to, among many things:

  • Heating strategy
  • Maintenance
  • Occupancy patterns
  • and of course Energy management.
  1. Irus is easy install

Over 70% of rooms controlled by Irus have been retrofitted.

That’s more than 45,000 rooms in 65 of the 110+ sites on the Irus Portal.

  1. Irus is much more than just heating control

The Irus system controls, manages and monitors:

  • Electric and Water Metering
  • Water heating
  • Leak detection
  • Environmental conditions
  • Water wastage
  • Lighting
  • Kitchen safety.
  1. Irus and 3rd party integration

As well as managing its own constituent parts, Irus integrates easily with other management and control systems including:

  • Lighting
  • Maintenance ticketing
  • Door access/check-in software; etc.
  1. No upfront costs

We survey the site, specify, quote, create an account, and then invoice on completion of the project installation*, or supply of products.

No deposit. No 50% manufacturing fee. No hidden extras.

*Credit check conditions apply

  • Not to mention WINNING the Energy Saving Awards - Education Sector Project of the Year with The University of the West of England for the Irus installation at its Frenchay Campus, and HobSensus being recognised as the Safety Innovation Product of the Year by Electrical Safety First.

Spring sprang - and it’s May! Here’s to balmy summer evenings, alfresco dining and confining winter togs to the darker depths of the wardrobe. The energy crisis is still biting, but Managers can relax a little, as during the summer the heating budget takes care of itself – Doesn’t it? Well, that depends on the type of control the heating system has. Surprisingly, many student rooms have little or no control on their heaters. The occupant can flick the switch or turn the dial and the temperature rises - w...
