IoT & Energy

Smart Workplace

The building's devices on one dashboard — energy, access, and how the space is actually used.

IoT & Energy

The situation

The electricity bill climbs every year and nobody can say why. Meeting rooms are fully booked and visibly empty. Air conditioning runs across a floor for ten people.

The data exists, but it sits in several vendors' systems that do not talk to each other, and nobody can look at it together.

How it works

Sensors measure actual occupancy rather than bookings — a room booked and never entered is seen as such, and can be released to someone else.

Energy is broken down by zone and by hour, so it is clear where the bill actually goes instead of being inferred from one total.

Once real utilisation is known, decisions about taking more space or giving space back have numbers behind them.

What changes

  • Real occupancy visible against bookings
  • Abnormal energy use identified at zone level
  • Unused bookings released automatically
  • Space decisions supported by measurement

Who it is for

  • Office buildings and head offices
  • Buildings with an energy reduction target
  • Hybrid organisations resizing their footprint
  • Facilities teams running several buildings

What it connects to

  • BMS and HVAC
  • Access control and lifts
  • Electricity and water meters
  • Room booking and corporate calendars
