Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) technology is revolutionizing wireless communications by shifting from channel adaptation to a responsive wireless environment. This paper introduces a multi-IRS assisted millimeter wave (mm-wave) system, allowing intelligent on/off control of individual IRS elements. Our objective is to optimize energy efficiency under Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. We propose an algorithm where the Access Point (AP) adjusts transmit beamforming, and IRS elements control phaseshifts and on/off status until convergence. Utilizing a fractional programming (FP) approach for AP beamforming and Simulated Annealing (SA) for IRS subproblems, we achieve a suboptimum optimal solution. A modified nested FP approach addresses the beamforming subproblem. Performance analysis in a practical scenario reveals a significant up to 132.16% improvement in energy efficiency compared to scenarios with randomly selected IRS on/off status. This highlights the efficacy of our algorithm in enhancing mm-wave communication systems' overall efficiency.
