Government Occupancy Analytics for Space Utilization

Federal and state agencies face strict privacy mandates, security-sensitive facilities, no-camera requirements, and pressure to reduce space and costs. Occuspace provides privacy-safe occupancy intelligence for federal and state facilities, helping agencies measure utilization, support reporting requirements, inform capital and lease planning, and cut energy waste - without cameras or personal data.

Selected by GSA to Optimize the Federal Real Estate Portfolio

The General Services Administration – the federal government's largest real estate manager – evaluated occupancy sensing providers and selected Occuspace to deploy real-time occupancy intelligence across 180 million square feet of federal workspace. Occuspace gives GSA a secure, camera-free, interoperable sensor platform that integrates directly with Building Automation Systems to support portfolio-wide space and sustainability decisions.

Federal Agencies Are Under Pressure to Do More With Less Space

The USE IT Act requires federal agencies to measure and report building occupancy – and mandates consolidation, sale, or disposal of space that stays underutilized, pushing agencies toward smaller, more efficient footprints without sacrificing mission delivery. Occupancy data is the foundation for meeting these requirements. Occuspace gives agencies the building-level and space-level utilization evidence they need to plan, report, consolidate, and act with confidence.

GSA and OMB Space Utilization Reporting

GSA's workplace modernization initiatives require federal agencies to right-size real estate portfolios so building space matches actual need. Occuspace surfaces the underused space and gives agencies the evidence to act on consolidation and reduction opportunities – and to make the case to GSA and OMB with confidence.

No-Camera Requirement

Federal facilities prohibit camera-based surveillance in sensitive areas. Occuspace's passive sensing technology – no cameras, no images, no visual data – is the only occupancy solution that works without conflict in security-controlled environments.

Government Energy Requirements

Federal law requires agencies to cut building energy intensity against a 2018 baseline, with statutory targets running through FY2027. Occuspace connects real-time occupancy data to building management systems, enabling provable energy reductions that meet mandated requirements.
SCIF-Compatible by Design

Built for Environments Where Security
Is Not Optional

Government environments impose requirements that eliminate many occupancy sensing solutions from consideration. Occuspace was designed for secure, privacy sensitive buildings from the start, not retrofitted to comply later.

No Cameras — Period

Occuspace sensors use passive BLE, Wi Fi scanning, and mmWave radar, with zero imaging and zero video. There is nothing to capture, store, or compromise. This helps avoid camera conflicts in SCIFs, secure conference rooms, and sensitive agency environments.

No PII — By Architecture

MAC addresses are hashed on-device before transmission. No person can be identified, tracked, or linked to a time and location. Privacy compliance is structural — not a policy that depends on human adherence.

No Device Connections

Macro and Micro sensors never connect to, pair with, or communicate with personal devices. Passive listening only — no attack surface for device-based compromise or tracking of personnel movements.

Simplified Data Governance

Because no PII is collected or transmitted, Occuspace data does not trigger FISMA, Privacy Act, or FedRAMP data classification requirements for personally identifiable information. Dramatically simplifies ATO and procurement review.

Across the Federal and State Government Enterprise

Agency Campus Consolidation

Federal and state agencies need building-level and floor-level utilization data to identify lease reduction and consolidation opportunities early, and to support approval and reporting requirements. Occuspace provides that data, giving agencies the evidence to act on those opportunities with confidence.

Security-Sensitive Facilities

Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), classified conference rooms, and secure operations centers typically prohibit camera-based monitoring. Occuspace's camera-free sensing works in these environments without modification or waiver.

Multi-Agency Campus Management

DoD installations, federal campuses, state capitol complexes, and multi-tenant government buildings serve multiple agencies across dozens of buildings. Occuspace provides a unified occupancy data layer across all buildings and tenants — with role-based access for agency-specific reporting.

Telework & Return-to-Office Planning

Federal and state agencies managing hybrid work and return-to-office policies need real utilization data to set telework thresholds, justify desk ratios, and allocate space equitably across the workforce – without relying on badge data alone.
Government Energy Requirements

Meet Energy Requirements With Measurable Data

Reducing energy waste is a win for any government facility – and a growing number of energy mandates, carbon-reduction statutes, and executive orders require agencies to reduce energy intensity in government buildings and document progress against specific targets. These requirements aren't aspirational – they come with reporting requirements and non-compliance consequences.

Occupancy-driven building operations are one of the highest-ROI strategies for reducing facility energy consumption, at any level of government. Occuspace provides the real-time occupancy data that enables HVAC and lighting systems to respond automatically to actual building use — cutting energy costs and providing reporting data to document results.
Real-time occupancy integration with building management systems
Energy cost reduction for facilities operating on tight budgets
Energy reduction documentation for energy and sustainability mandate compliance reporting
Measured occupancy data supporting sustainability executive orders
Fast. Contained. Compliant.

Designed for Complex, Secure Environments

No Network Dependency

Managed cellular is included in every Macro and Micro sensor — eliminating the need to access agency networks or IT infrastructure during deployment.

Fast Deployment

Sensors install in minutes with no wiring, drilling, or facilities modification. Deploy during off-hours without disrupting agency operations or requiring facilities downtime.

Minimal IT Footprint

No agents installed on agency systems, no integration with internal networks during setup, and no new software requiring ATO review on agency infrastructure.

Multi-Building Scale

A single Occuspace deployment can cover millions of square feet across dozens of buildings — with unified reporting and role-based access for multi-agency environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Government

Why did the GSA select Occuspace for the federal real estate portfolio?

Occuspace was selected by the U.S. General Services Administration to measure occupancy across the federal real estate portfolio — privacy-first, camera-free utilization data that supports space consolidation, energy efficiency, and reporting requirements at portfolio scale.

Is Occuspace secure enough for government buildings?

Occuspace is built for environments where security is not optional: no cameras, no images, and no personally identifiable information. Device identifiers are hashed immediately on-device, and reporting is aggregate people counts only.

How does occupancy data support federal space and sustainability mandates?

Measured utilization gives agencies defensible numbers for OMB and GSA space reporting, identifies underused buildings for consolidation, and quantifies the energy savings of matching HVAC and operations to actual occupancy — turning executive-order goals into measurable progress.

How hard is procurement and deployment for an agency?

Federal procurement is straightforward through GSA channels, and deployment is plug-and-play: sensors use standard electrical outlets, install in minutes per space, and require no construction or network integration to begin collecting data.

Does Occuspace work for state and local government too?

Yes. State and local agencies use the same privacy-first platform to measure utilization across offices, courts, libraries, and public facilities — supporting right-sizing, energy reduction, and better service planning.
