Just turn it OFF
Some rooms in remote accommodation sites sit empty for weeks at a time.
They’re held for shutdown crews, project teams, or seasonal workforces. They’re not “out of service” — just not needed right now. Yet the hot water systems serving those rooms often keep running, reheating water every day, simply because switching them off and back on again is labour-intensive and easy to forget.
That’s a lot of energy being used for rooms no one is in.
Blyx is designed to manage these low-occupancy zones automatically.
When rooms have no reservations or are marked as not in use, Blyx can shut down the hot water systems feeding those areas. When the rooms are needed again, Blyx brings the systems back online and even manages the warm-up period before they can be reallocated.
At the same time, Blyx continues to monitor the room environment. If conditions become unsafe for the room or its contents, systems can be temporarily reactivated to protect the space — without leaving everything running 24/7 “just in case”.
We’ve put this into a short article called “Just Switch It Off When You’re Not Using It” that explains how Blyx uses automation and room intelligence to reduce energy waste in low-occupancy areas — without adding more work for site teams.
