A multinational HQ measured true occupancy across two towers
A multinational HQ measured true occupancy across two towers for 11,000 employees — calibrating energy, cleaning and real-estate decisions to reality, not badge guesses.
The challenge
Leadership needed to know how an 11,000-person HQ was actually used — for energy, cleaning and real-estate decisions — without badge-only guesses.
Leadership needed to know how an 11,000-person HQ was actually used — but badge data only shows who entered the building, not how floors and zones fill through the day.
What we deployed
PULSE Occupancy — wireless occupancy sensing feeding real-time and historical utilisation.
Key capabilities- Wireless sensorsLow-power presence sensing across floors and zones.
- Real-time occupancySee how the building fills right now.
- Historical trendsPeak and quiet patterns per floor.
- Energy tuningMatch HVAC and lighting to real use.
- Cleaning optimisationClean where and when it's needed.
- Space evidenceData for consolidation decisions.
How it works
Low-power sensors report presence across floors and zones; facilities see live and historical occupancy to tune cleaning, energy and space.
Outcomes
- True occupancy vs. badge assumptions
- Cleaning and energy tuned to real use
- Peak/quiet patterns per floor
- Evidence for space consolidation
The use case in depth
Occupancy is the input to almost every downstream workplace cost — energy, cleaning, and space. Measuring it directly, rather than inferring from badges, lets facilities tune each of those to reality instead of over-provisioning for a worst case that rarely happens.
Over time the historical patterns matter as much as the live view: peak and quiet trends per floor become the evidence for consolidation and for redesigning how the building is used.

UrSpayce PULSE occupancy sensing feeds real-time and historical utilisation so energy, cleaning and space are calibrated to how a building is actually used.
See UrSpayce PULSE →Frequently asked questions
Why measure occupancy with sensors instead of badges?
Badges only show who entered the building. Wireless occupancy sensors show how floors and zones actually fill through the day, giving accurate data to tune energy, cleaning and space.
What decisions does occupancy data improve?
Energy and HVAC tuning, cleaning schedules, and real-estate consolidation all improve when based on true occupancy rather than assumptions.
Does it show historical trends?
Yes. UrSpayce PULSE provides both real-time occupancy and historical peak/quiet patterns per floor for planning.
