Overview

Education facilities, whether a secondary school or large city university, generally comprise sprawling collections of buildings over considerable distances. Unsurprisingly, this campus-style accommodation can be very difficult to manage. This is an environment where the wireless ICY Accommodation Management System excels; both by reducing heating costs and minimising the time-cost of management and general maintenance.

 

With the wireless hopping mesh network "ICY Net" we can position transceiver nodes at 40 metre intervals around the whole site and even link up different post code locations. We can regullate all heating types across the campus and all settings can be controlled from the facilities office or anywhere in the world with the ICY Control Centre.

 

The 1845 Intelligent Thermostat with its motion detection and light sensors will only heat classrooms and other faculty accommodation which are actually being used. Classrooms that are not being used will be kept at a resting temperature until the next time they are in use. This yo-yo effect from room temperature to resting temperature over the course of a year can deliver significant savings on heating costs.

 

A reduction of just 1"C can save you up to 10% on your heating bills. (Energy Savings Trust).
