Contemporary daytime office with four clearly visible occupants

BUILDING CONTROL FEATURE

Occupancy-Ratio Room Automation

Make every room respond to who is there, how many people are present and whether the indoor environment is comfortable.

Room-level sensor data can be made available to the BMS or local control layer, where project-defined logic determines the required lighting, ventilation and HVAC response.

THE ROOM-LEVEL GAP

A schedule knows the time. It does not know the room.

Rooms change throughout the day. A person may be present but still. A meeting can grow from two people to ten. CO₂ can rise before discomfort becomes obvious.

01

Is anyone still here?

True Occupancy provides a more dependable occupied / vacant signal during quiet activity.

02

How many people are here?

People Counting adds anonymous headcount and room-use data.

03

Is the room comfortable?

IAQ sensing shows when ventilation and environmental conditions need attention.

ONE ROOM. CHANGING DEMAND.

See how the same room calls for a different response.

Select a room state to see how occupancy, headcount and IAQ data can support lighting, ventilation and terminal HVAC control.

High occupancy can trigger an immediate cooling response while elevated CO₂ calls for more fresh air or an alert.

THREE SIGNALS. ONE ROOM RESPONSE.

Presence tells the system when. Headcount tells it how much. IAQ confirms whether conditions are right.

TRUE OCCUPANCY

Know when the room is still genuinely occupied.

Micro- and vital-movement detection provides a more dependable occupied / vacant signal during quiet activity, helping the control strategy maintain comfort while the room is in use and apply setback only after vacancy is confirmed.

PEOPLE COUNTING

Know how much demand the room is creating.

Anonymous headcount and occupancy-ratio data show how much demand a room is creating, helping the BMS scale ventilation, fan speed and terminal-unit response to actual use.

Available data Live Headcount · Occupancy Ratio · Space Utilisation

Anonymous occupancy data without identifying individual occupants.

IAQ

Confirm whether room conditions remain appropriate.

CO₂, temperature and humidity show whether room conditions remain appropriate, helping the BMS adjust ventilation, coordinate HVAC operation or raise alerts against project-defined targets.

Available data CO₂ · Temperature · Humidity

Together, these three signals define real room demand.

The agreed control strategy determines how lighting, ventilation, HVAC and alerts should respond.

FROM SENSOR TO SYSTEM

From Room Sensors to Building Control

Room-level data is collected by the selected sensors and made available to the BMS or local control layer through the project's supported integration route. The BMS or local controller then applies the agreed control logic, while available data points, protocols and functions depend on the selected devices and project configuration.

01

Sense

Presence, people count and IAQ data are captured inside the room.

02

Connect

Data travels through the supported wired or wireless communication route for the selected devices.

03

Integrate

A gateway, controller or compatible interface makes the required data points available to the BMS.

04

Respond

The BMS or local controller applies the commissioned logic to lighting, ventilation, HVAC and alerts.

WHERE ROOM DEMAND CHANGES

Designed for spaces that never stay the same for long.

Meeting room in use

Meeting rooms

Headcount and CO₂ help ventilation and cooling respond as attendance changes.

Offices

True Occupancy distinguishes quiet work from vacancy, helping comfort remain available while the room is still in use.

Classrooms

Presence, headcount and IAQ help the room respond across lessons, breaks and changeovers.
