Businesses face increasing financial pressure to ensure the effective utilization of buildings as regards occupancy, usage of rooms and desks. For this reason, the analysis of the optimal use of the building is becoming more and more important in order to increase energy efficiency and to reduce operating costs.
The IoT-ready under-desk sensor detects the presence of people sitting at desks and reports accurate real-time data of desk occupancy within offices and meeting rooms to identify inefficiencies and help create a productive environment within buildings.

The data can help manage and predict team moves, expansions, and disposals; for example, renting or selling off building or floors which are underutilized. This can also help realise energy efficiency improvements, reducing environmental impact, in turn creating a more efficient work environment and presenting cost saving opportunities.
Non-invasive installation can be conducted by a low-skilled f tter. Installation and on-going costs are kept to a minimum. The sensor utilizes the EnOcean radio protocol allowing true IoT interoperability within the EnOcean ecosystem.
