4 Key Benefits of Occupancy Sensors

Integrate occupancy sensors to create a more convenient and energy-efficient space

4 Key Benefits of Occupancy Sensors

Occupancy sensors are all the rave in businesses throughout Austin, TX. Not only do these sensors help in making a space energy-efficient, but they also help in creating a more functional space for clients, patrons and staff. Occupancy sensors use different technologies, including infrared rays, microwaves, or even micro-vibrations. These waves or vibrations are triggered when a person walks by, and the occupancy sensors immediately go into action. Below are some of the ways these sensors could benefit your space.

Energy Saving

The biggest reason why occupancy sensors are so popular is that they save energy. When a person leaves a space, the lights automatically switch off . This ensures that your lights are only used when needed. This trigger also applies to other automated features such as temperature control and door openings. When the lights, HVAC system, and other appliances are only used when needed, energy waste is automatically reduced, saving thousands on power bills. The overall running cost of a building is reduced significantly.

Touchless Control

Unlike traditional control systems, you don’t have to struggle to find the correct switch from the clutter on the wall. There is no need to find the remote that controls the lights. Touchless control makes any space more convenient and functional in an instant. This especially useful in spaces like conference rooms. As soon as someone enters, the lights turn on and your collaboration platform automatically activates to make it easy to set up your next meeting.

Headcount

In commercial spaces, headcount is important. If you want to know how many people are in a room, occupancy sensors will tell you the exact headcount. It helps in implementing SOPs and guidelines in public places and in retail spaces it can be vital in helping you make stocking and marketing decisions.

Improved Security

Motion sensors are a great source of improving security in healthcare settings or any other commercial space. If someone is entering a restricted area, motion sensors can trigger an alarm. Moreover, these sensors can also detect falls. If a person falls, occupancy sensors can tell how fast or slow a person falls onto the ground. With the help of such information, you can easily set off an alarm that will call for help for the fallen person immediately.
