At Occuspace, we believe smarter buildings start with smarter data. Our clients consistently achieve a remarkable 2:1 to 3:1 ROI in their very first year. This isn't magic; it's the power of precise space utilization data, enabling strategic adjustments that drastically reduce operational costs without sacrificing comfort or cleanliness.
Let's dive into how Occuspace transforms your operational efficiency, starting with immediate savings and then exploring amplified benefits through deeper integration.
Occuspace delivers significant returns quickly, often with minimal infrastructure changes. The key lies in leveraging granular occupancy data for your HVAC systems and custodial cleaning schedules.
Traditional HVAC wastes immense energy by operating on rigid schedules, regardless of actual occupancy. With Occuspace, you gain real-time insights into exactly how spaces are used.
By simply adjusting HVAC setpoints and scheduling based on actual utilization patterns, our clients routinely save $0.15 - $0.25 per square foot annually. This means setting back temperatures in unoccupied zones, optimizing fan schedules, and even shutting down HVAC in areas with prolonged vacancy. These data-driven adjustments require no complex integrations, just a shift in strategy.
Fixed cleaning routines often lead to over-cleaning low-traffic areas. The average commercial cleaning cost ranges from $0.08 to $0.25 per square foot annually. Occuspace empowers cleaning teams to optimize routes and frequencies based on actual floor-level utilization, leading to significant savings.
Consider these impactful adjustments:
For example, if your current cleaning costs $0.15 per square foot, a 25% saving is $0.0375 per square foot annually, and a 45% saving is $0.0675 per square foot annually. This focused approach deploys cleaning staff more efficiently, ensuring optimal hygiene without overspending.
The true power of Occuspace data is unlocked through deeper integrations with your building management systems (BMS) and smart cleaning platforms, allowing for truly dynamic, demand-driven operations.
Integrating Occuspace data for demand control ventilation (DCV) takes HVAC optimization to the next level. Instead of static sensors, Occuspace provides real-time, accurate headcount data. This allows your HVAC system to precisely adjust outdoor air intake, optimize fan speeds, and improve indoor air quality by responding proactively to real-time changes in density.
For buildings with highly variable occupancy, enhanced control can push HVAC savings to $0.30 - $0.50 per square foot annually.
Integrating our data with your custodial management software allows for real-time cleaning triggers. Cleaning teams can be dispatched to a restroom only after it reaches a certain usage threshold, or to a breakroom immediately following a peak occupancy period. This creates dynamic work orders, optimizes resource deployment, and enhances occupant satisfaction.
Beyond initial scheduling optimizations, real-time triggers can lead to an additional $0.01 - $0.05 per square foot in savings through further reduced labor hours and cleaning supply consumption.
Occuspace provides a pathway to a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainably managed building. The tangible savings our clients realize consistently yield a 2:1 or even 3:1 ROI in the very first year with basic optimizations, and potentially much higher with deeper integrations and when you factor in the savings from space planning decisions with the data.
Whether you're looking for quick wins or ready to embrace the full potential of integrated, demand-driven operations, Occuspace provides the foundational data you need to make intelligent decisions. Stop guessing about how your space is being used, and start optimizing with Occuspace.
