1. Occupancy-Based Heating Control
Prefect’s ControlSensor uses real-time occupancy detection to heat rooms only when they’re in use, significantly reducing energy waste. This is especially effective in rooms that may be unoccupied for long periods during the day or holidays.
2. Centralised, Remote Management
ControlSensor+Irus, is a cloud-based management system that allows operators to schedule, and adjust space and water heating settings and monitor for leaks, kitchen safety, water wastage and utilities use across an entire site remotely. This reduces the need for on-site intervention and enables proactive energy management.
3. Energy, Cost and Operational Efficiency
The Irus ecosystem frequently delivers up to 50% energy savings, cutting both carbon emissions and utility bills. Accommodation providers are increasingly under pressure to meet sustainability targets, making these savings highly attractive. ControlSensor+Irus significantly improves operational efficiency in multi-occupancy accommodation by reducing manual interventions, centralising control, and enabling data-driven decision-making.
4. Tamper-Proof Controls
The Irus ecosystem is designed to be tamper-proof, occupants can’t override the system to cause energy waste. Temperature limits and control logic are set by building managers, ensuring consistent and responsible energy use.
5. Proven Track Record and Reliability
Irus has a strong presence in the UK student accommodation sector. With a proven track record and 80K+ controls across 180+ sites, no other system has as much data to call upon to provide benchmarking opportunities. Its experience, reliability, and focus on the specific needs of multi-occupancy buildings make Prefect Controls a trusted partner in the multi-occupancy accommodation market.
