OPERATE MORE EFFICIENTLY WITH OCCUPANCY SENSORS

Whether you manage a commercial building, retail space, or corporate offices, you are concerned with maximizing the use of space and keeping costs in check. Wasted or inconsistently used areas can mean less profit per square foot or less productivity from teams. 

Occupancy sensors offer you the ability to control energy costs and provide real-time metrics automatically. Sensors and automation can also help control overcrowding, creating a safer and more efficient environment for everyone. Are you intrigued by the possibilities for your Austin, TX business? Continue reading to learn more.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Creating a space that is inviting or fosters creativity requires that it be well-lit and comfortable. The illumination and environmental systems give you the power to create ideal conditions for work, play, and shopping, but even modern technology uses considerable energy. 

Across the country, electrical grids are under stress from the continued population growth and the needs of everyday life. As a result, power companies often institute load-shedding to offset consumption and prevent blackouts. The demand response plans require businesses to lower usage to minimize brown-outs during peak times.

Occupancy sensors help to minimize energy in rooms, floors, or complexes based on actual real-time needs. For example, if a company is only using one section of an office or conference room, the sensors tied to building automation reduce lights that are not needed. In addition, the HVAC systems reduce cooling to all but the space required, not only putting you in compliance but saving on overall operating costs. 

METRICS THAT MATTER

Floor space is a valuable asset, and you need to balance workflow demands and price per square foot. Maximizing space by tightly packing desks, sales displays, or accommodations benefits the bottom line but causes frustrations, bottlenecks, and an uninviting atmosphere. 

Beyond simple counting of bodies entering and exit, occupancy sensors generate raw data density of people throughout the day. The metrics can reveal how and why certain areas of the office or store become congested or prevent more people from gaining access. With this information, you can make changes to travel paths, move services to areas that allow for a more efficient flow of bodies, and stay clear of breaking capacity limits.
