Smart buildings are becoming increasingly popular, and the use of accurate people counting and occupancy analysis is making them even smarter, more cost-efficient, and more environmentally friendly.
IoT technology is being used to automate systems in corporate office buildings, universities, warehouses, and even homes, allowing for the control of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, and security to reduce their impact on the environment, minimize energy costs, and improve convenience.
Read on to discover how occupancy management works within such a system and how to get the most out of your smart building with this technology.
In essence, a smart building is any structure that uses technology to connect and automate processes. These processes include heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, security, and any other subsystems that can be automated.
Real-time people counting devices, such as 3D and infrared sensors, provide invaluable data about how a building is being utilized. By installing these devices in strategic areas, businesses and organizations can optimize their energy consumption and enhance the experience of people occupying the building.
Controlling HVAC and lighting systems according to occupancy can significantly reduce energy consumption. A people counter detects, with 98% accuracy, how many people are in a space in real-time.
By automatically and continuously monitoring the number of people in a room, businesses and organizations can optimize energy consumption in various ways. Additionally, occupancy management can notify staff when rarely used areas need to be cleaned, reducing resource and cost wastage.
