Types of Occupancy Sensor Mount Options



Are you interested in optimising your office workspace? Research says that a mere 50% of office workspace is being utilised by companies. If corporates want to optimise workspace usage, they need to go in for occupancy sensors. 

Be clear on what you want to achieve

If you want your occupancy analytics project to succeed you need clarity on what you exactly want to achieve from it. Spend sufficient time to plan and set the right goals and obtain a positive Return on Investment on your occupancy analytics project.   


Types of occupancy sensor mounting options available 

Three kinds of sensor mounting options are available in the market, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. The options include a desk, wall, and ceiling-mounted sensors. Choose the best-suited option. The following are some key considerations to be borne in mind for each one of them.


Ceiling Mounted Occupancy Sensor

A ceiling occupancy sensor is best suited for large and informal spaces. If you want to ascertain occupancy levels in a lounge area, informal meeting areas, cafeteria or flexible co-working areas, or conference rooms, this occupancy sensor is your best bet. You can also install more than one ceiling mounted occupancy sensor to cover larger areas.  


Ceiling occupancy sensors are also equipped with Image Recognition Technology. These are suitable for open, wide, and shared office areas. They can accurately detect the number of individuals occupying the workspace in real time and help optimise the cost-per-area coverage ratio.

Ceiling mount occupancy sensors need to be powered through the Power on Ethernet option to avoid a separate power supply.


Other Mounting Options

In addition to ceiling mounted occupancy sensors, there are other kinds available such as wall mount sensors, and desk occupancy sensors.

Desk occupancy sensors are best suited for small meeting areas, office rooms, cubicles, or desks spread out in the office.

Wall mount sensors are best suited for checking the occupancy of small enclosed areas like phone booths, focus rooms, or quiet rooms. 

Whichever option you choose, get it installed from a reliable supplier!

How to Plan Occupancy Sensor Layout?

Image
Covid safe protocols and social distancing in the workplace may be the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking of re-opening the office after Covid-19. While you may control the number of people in the office using badge swipes, how the employees use the space needs better monitoring. Here is where the occupancy sensors come to work. These devices can detect the presence of people within a given space. These smart devices can monitor occupied areas like conference rooms, work floors, and workstations. However, the placement of the occupancy sensor needs to be strategically planned to ensure that it gives you the desired results. Let us check a few factors that you should consider when installing occupancy sensors . Use Real-Time Data If possible, use real-time data on how the office space is being used currently. It will give you an insight into how to place the sensor. Usually, one occupancy sensor can cover up to 1100 square feet. Hence you might divide large spaces into z

3 Ideal ways to use occupancy sensor data for ROI reporting

Image
  Every organization requires accurate data in order to make appropriate management decisions. And while occupancy sensors can provide real-time data, the essence lies in effectively using the findings to ensure a better ROI. Here are the three key occupancy sensor metrics that you should focus on to ensure proper office space planning for better ROI. Density The fastest way to ascertain whether your space requires consolidation or expansion is to analyse the density data. Information from such data can help determine the demand by specific groups or departments for a specific space, such as office floors or particular departments. The density of a space is determined by dividing the total square foot by the total number of users. This value will help to determine the appropriate room occupancy sensor needed for your office space. Its people counter feature collects real-time data relating to the density of people in your premises at different hours of the day. This will help you cre

Merits Of Using An Occupancy Sensor

Image
A considerable percentage of corporate assets are in real estate. In most cases, the total cost of occupancy of corporate real property is approximately half of its net income. So, when an organisation is spending huge amounts of money on office space, they would want to ensure that the spaces are right for their needs and that they are getting their money’s worth. One way to ensure the space is optimally utilised is by using occupancy sensors. Through monitoring office space usage, informed decisions can be made on using the space in the best manner possible. Although smaller organisations may be hesitant to use sensors due to occupancy sensor prices , the benefits of using them make the investment worth it over time.   What exactly is an Occupancy Sensor? A device that detects motion and recognises when people have entered or exited an area or room is called the occupancy sensor. Although an occupancy sensor detects motion, it is different from a motion sensor as it has far greater
