Smart Building Maintenance
Building facilities managers can prevent unnecessary and costly repairs and eliminate downtime and tenant complaints if they know when vital equipment, such as an HVAC system, is ready to fail. In addition, smart sensors can monitor and report on equipment usage, overheating, and unanticipated changes, allowing you to anticipate issues before they arise.
Smart buildings are incorporating sensors into customer-facing services in addition to behind-the-scenes maintenance enhancements. Sensors in supply rooms, for example, can alert facilities managers when inventory needs replenishing. Likewise, smart cleaning services can be optimized and validated thanks to sensors in office buildings.
Energy Management with Smart Sensors
With energy accounting for 19 percent of a typical building's overall expenses, proactive, data-driven energy management can significantly influence the bottom line. For example, smart sensors save money on building operations by automatically altering lighting, ventilation, and temperatures based on the number of occupants and usage patterns. Furthermore, occupancy detection sensors can save making operation expenses by up to 18 percent by altering ventilation settings based on the number of people in a room.
Occupancy Sensors for Office Space Utilization
Occupancy sensors can accurately detect the number, location, and movement of building inhabitants while ensuring individual privacy. Smart CRE companies can rearrange building layouts or plan for changing demand based on the data. They can also assist renters in making data-driven decisions about office layout, meeting room additions or removals, and hotdesking tactics.
Improve workplace productivity
The purpose of smart buildings is to keep residents comfortable. Employees at companies with smart buildings are happier, healthier, and more productive. Tenant complaints and turnover get reduced, which benefits CRE companies.
