Office Building Management
Office Building Management leverages AI for smart lighting control and space utilization optimization. It reduces energy consumption, lowers operational costs, and creates a more efficient work environment.
Project Overview
Industry: Commercial Real Estate / Facility Management
Scope: 10+ office buildings, multi-floor layouts
Project Duration: 5 months
Team Size: 2 data scientists, 2 facility engineers, 1 sustainability manager
Business Challenge
- High energy costs due to lights running continuously regardless of occupancy
- Underutilized office areas increasing operational expenses
- Lack of real-time monitoring for energy consumption
- Limited insights into peak occupancy patterns
Our Approach
- IoT-enabled sensors to monitor occupancy, lighting, and energy
- AI-driven smart lighting with automated dimming and motion-based activation
- Space utilization analytics for underused areas
- Dashboards for facilities managers to track energy and occupancy
- Predictive scheduling to minimize off-peak energy consumption
Implementation Process
- Sensor installation and data integration
- AI model development for energy and space optimization
- Pilot implementation in two office buildings
- Full rollout across all 10+ buildings
Quality Assurance
- Continuous monitoring of energy and occupancy metrics
- Automated alerts for anomalies in consumption or occupancy
- Monthly cross-functional review of energy efficiency KPIs
- Iterative retraining of AI models based on real-world performance
Client Feedback
“”
Our office buildings are now more efficient and sustainable. The smart lighting and space optimization system reduced costs and allowed us to make data-driven facility decisions.
