Energy saving heating controls for landlords and energy managers

Irus controls heating energy input to individual heat sources. Profiles on the portal manage the temperature and timeframes depending on time of day and occupancy patterns.

ControlSensor

Occupants can adjust their room's temperature within the parameters of the profile. Additionally, the ControlSensor measures humidity, light, sound pressure and (optionally) CO2. An integrated microwave sensor monitors occupancy and adjusts the heat source accordingly.

Window open technology

If rooms are empty or windows are open heat input is reduced

3-Stage Profile

Temperature and time settings are programmed on the portal for 3 modes.

Residents can adjust their environment to their personal preference but only within these parameters.

Setback keeps the room at a comfortable temperature. If they require it warmer, they touch the UP arrow. This sets the Boost mode running for the pre-set time, after which it reverts to Setback.

If rooms are empty for longer periods the heating is reduced to minimal input (Frost/Off) until the ControlSensor is activated again.

Mains Borne Signalling

Mains Borne Signalling uses the Earth and Neutral wires of the buildings electrical circuit to send packages of data to and from the Master Interface Unit.

  • It reduces need for additional data cabling.
  • It is reliable and accurate from point-to-point.
  • It makes installation quick and cost-effective.
  • EnergyLock

    Unique Patented EnergyLock system complies with Lot20 regulations

    How does ControlSensor differ from our previous CU3 Control Unit?

    The all-new ControlSensor features a full colour touch screen and a microwave occupancy sensor that replaces the previously integrated PIR. Operationally ControlSensor and CU3 perform in the same way and it includes the standard Humidity, dB, and Lux sensors (a CO2 module is available as an optional extra).

    However, there are additional features: Integrated Bluetooth enables communication between ControlSensor and other devices within the Irus ecosystem.

    Direct-to-room communications gives operators the opportunity to display useful information on the ControlSensor screen. Communications can be broadcast to the entire building/site/estate, or can be room specific.

    Templates are tailored to the communication requirements of each client, so operators simply fill in the blanks and choose to send individually or ‘to all’. To avoid misuse, ‘free-style’ messages cannot be sent on the system.

    Nudges

    Nudges are information generated from individual room data collected by the Irus System. They are designed to encourage energy/utilities efficiency by affecting behavioural change.

    Messages

    Messages are information generated by Irus System Users for room occupants. For example; To make them aware of maintenance schedules/fire alarm drills, or a parcel that has been left in reception.

    Instructions

    Instructions are information to help occupants understand how their heating system works and why it's necessary. This can be a QR code linking to a video that explains the system or on-screen operational information etc.
