Your guide to office facilities management, with people counting
This helps facilities managers improve resource allocation, increase energy efficiency based on the number of people using a given space and have better overall operational effectiveness. Terabee offers two advanced fully GDPR-compliant options: people flow counting sensors and people occupancy counting sensors. This article explores the distinct advantages and optimal use cases for each.
Terabee People Occupancy Counting: make the most of spaces and facilities
Terabee People Occupancy Counting excels in providing real-time insights into space, office and room occupancy levels. By accurately counting the number of individuals within a designated area, these sensors enable facility managers to identify less used spaces and streamline workspace allocation based on demand.
With its wide area coverage and using the latest thermal technology, this GDPR-compliant-by-design device is the ideal solution to optimize large spaces such as open plan offices and coworking areas. Two product variations provide transmission of the data via Power over Ethernet or LoRaWAN. The Terabee People Occupancy Counting device ensures precise occupancy tracking in all light conditions.
Energy savings
Efficient energy management is a key priority for sustainable facilities. By leveraging occupancy data from Terabee People Occupancy Counting sensors, facilities managers can implement demand-driven energy-saving initiatives, such as lighting and HVAC control based on real occupancy levels. This can bring significant energy reductions and related cost savings.
HVAC systems integration
Integrating occupancy data with heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems enables adaptive climate control based on real-time occupancy patterns. Terabee People Occupancy Counting sensors facilitate seamless integration with HVAC systems, enabling energy consumption based on actual occupancy rates and thus enhanced occupant comfort.
Occupancy monitoring
From conference rooms to coworking spaces, monitoring occupancy levels facilitates effective resource management. Terabee People Occupancy Counting Devices offer precise occupancy data, enabling facilities to implement occupancy-based strategies for space optimization, such as automated room booking systems and dynamic seating arrangements.
Terabee People Flow Counting sensors: enhance operational efficiency
Easy to configure and install on high ceilings, the Terabee People Flow Counting L-XL fits any kind of wide indoor entrance, up to 15 meters in a multi-device setup. Its people counting algorithm is able to filter out static objects and count multiple people passing in both directions below the device as they enter or leave a designated space. Terabee People Flow Counting M 2.0 is discrete, compact, and depending on the model, can be deployed via PoE, Ethernet, Wi-Fi or LoRa connectivity.
The “smaller sibling” of People Flow Counting L-XL, People Flow Counting M 2.0 can count people over conventional swing doors and passageways.
Energy management
Terabee People Flow Counting Devices empower facilities managers to implement energy-saving measures based on real-time people flow data which shows which spaces are being used fully and those with lower levels of people flow, enabling enhanced sustainability and energy-related cost savings.
Space optimization
Maximizing the utility of available space requires a comprehensive understanding of how spaces are being used. Terabee People Flow Counting Devices enable facility managers to identify under-used areas, and reconfigure spaces to better meet evolving needs, ultimately enhancing space optimization.
Staff presence optimization
In dynamic work environments, understanding staff movement patterns is essential for enhancing operational efficiency. Terabee People Flow Counting Devices offer insights into staff presence and movement, enabling managers to optimize workflows, streamline communication and allocate resources effectively.
People flow
Efficient circulation of individuals within a space is crucial to reduce congestion and optimize people flow. Terabee People Flow Counting Devices provide real-time data on the flow of people, allowing facility managers to identify bottlenecks, improve traffic flow, and enhance overall user experience.
GDPR-compliant people counters, such as Terabee’s Time-of-Flight people flow counters and thermal infrared People Occupancy counters, offer distinct advantages tailored to specific use cases within smart space management. Terabee people counting devices prioritize privacy and security, they ensure GDPR compliance and protect individuals’ privacy rights. By harnessing the data and insights provided by Terabee occupancy monitors and people counting sensors, facilities managers can make data-driven decisions that improve operational efficiency, visitor satisfaction and contribute to the success of their facilities.
