What is Inyus?
Inyus is the smart solution designed to save energy in the hospitality industry and tertiary buildings. Heating empty rooms? Sounds crazy, right? Well, Inyus thinks so too. It tackles the common challenges faced by tertiary buildings—cutting energy bills, complying with regulations, and actually saving energy. The best part? It’s the simplest system out there to control heating and start seeing real savings from day one.
Main Benefits of Inyus
Here’s what makes Inyus stand out:
- Quick, non-intrusive installation—no construction mess.
- Easy management with your own schedules and planning.
- Energy savings that show up on your heating bill immediately.
- Reduces heating and air conditioning bills by 10% to 30%.
- Works perfectly in schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, and more.
- Connects your equipment to occupancy schedules for automatic control.
How Does Inyus Work?
Inyus is all about intelligent heating and cooling. It’s not just about turning things off and on—it’s about syncing with your building’s actual use. The system taps into your meters remotely, whether from Enedis, GRDF, or CPCU, giving a quick snapshot of energy consumption. Then, it networks with your HVAC systems for remote control. It adapts to your building’s unique occupancy patterns by using schedules, sensors, and planning data. Plus, it sends alerts for maintenance before problems become noticeable, keeping everything running smoothly.
Real-World Applications
Take the Hôtel Le Chouchou in Paris, for example. With 70 rooms spread over 6 floors and a variable occupancy rate, they installed 201 devices managed through their property management system. Or the School of Gohypré, which struggled with heating costs due to inefficient management that didn’t match actual room use. Then there’s the City Hall, where the technical manager sought better control over energy expenses while keeping users comfortable. Even multipurpose halls benefit—no more trips just to adjust the heating for each event.
The Inyus Method
The magic behind Inyus lies in its step-by-step approach:
- Meter Interrogation: Remotely querying energy meters for real-time consumption data.
- Equipment Instrumentation: Networking HVAC systems for remote control.
- Consumption Control & Optimization: Tailoring heating and cooling based on occupancy and schedules.
- Alerts & Maintenance: Detecting issues early to prevent discomfort and costly repairs.
- Electrical Subscription Optimization: Prioritizing energy use to reduce peak consumption and costs.
Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – by reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – through smarter building management.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – optimizing energy use.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – lowering carbon footprint by cutting waste.
Why Inyus Matters
At its core, Inyus is about doing more with less. The least polluting and cheapest energy is the energy you don’t consume. Educational buildings in France, for example, have occupancy rates between 70% and 80%, meaning 20% of their surface area is heated unnecessarily. That’s neither eco-friendly nor cost-effective. Inyus flips the script by turning off radiators in empty rooms and turning them on just in time—20, 30, or 40 minutes before people arrive, depending on the room’s thermal inertia. This way, users walk into a perfectly heated space without wasting energy. Originally created for schools, Inyus now serves hotels, coworking spaces, university residences, hospitals, and more, with added features like indoor air quality, humidity, and leak detection. It’s smart, simple, and sustainable—just what modern buildings need.
