Lighting controls feed occupancy data to space allocation optimization tool
Atrius Spaces includes a web application and an application programming interface (API) and can be used to efficiently allocate and plan for spatial requirements, allowing building managers to optimize facility operations and budgets, as well as the overall management of a building or campus throughout its lifecycle.
The web application visually represents real-time usage of spaces and provides metrics based on historical data that identifies peak and average space utilization and types of spaces used within one or multiple buildings. Using optional Map Design and Site Audit services, building managers can access room, floor and building plans from any standard web browser at any time and from anywhere.
In addition, the Atrius Spaces platform service features an API that allows developers to easily integrate the service with existing customer tools and dashboards, or create different applications, making IoT integration easier to achieve.
“New occupant dynamics, such as shared workspaces, “hoteling” for employees who travel frequently, and those who intermittently work remotely, make accurate space utilization data critical to building operation,” explains Greg Carter, Acuity Brands Lighting Senior Vice President, Software Products.
“Atrius Spaces reduces the effort required to collect, interpret and analyze data, and provides real-time actionable insights into to a building’s space utilization, which allows building managers to focus on optimizing space tailored to tenant and employee needs.”
