Keeping indoor spaces comfortable while managing energy costs is a challenge faced by businesses of all sizes – from offices and hotels to schools, hospitals and public buildings. Heating or cooling unoccupied rooms wastes energy and money, while poorly regulated temperatures in occupied spaces can impact comfort, productivity and satisfaction. SmartSenser™ offers a smarter, automated way to monitor room occupancy and temperature, ensuring the right comfort level at the right time – with minimal waste and maximum savings.
The Problem: Heating and Cooling Empty Rooms
Traditional heating and cooling systems often run on fixed schedules or manual controls. Without real-time data on whether a room is actually occupied, systems may:
- Heat or cool empty spaces unnecessarily, wasting energy.
- Fail to adjust quickly when a room becomes crowded, leading to discomfort.
- Require staff to manually adjust thermostats, wasting time and risking human error.
This inefficiency can lead to high utility bills, wasted energy, and complaints from building users – all adding up to avoidable costs and management headaches.
The Solution: Intelligent Room Occupancy and Temperature Control
SmartSenser™ brings a new level of intelligence to building climate control. By combining sensors that detect both temperature and real-time room occupancy, SmartSenser™ automatically adjusts heating, cooling, and ventilation based on actual usage.
Here’s how it works:
✔ When a room is unoccupied, SmartSenser™ can reduce heating or cooling to save energy.
✔ When occupancy is detected, it quickly brings the space to the ideal comfort temperature.
✔ It continuously monitors room conditions, adjusting settings dynamically as occupancy levels change.
✔ It can integrate with building management systems for automated, centralised control and monitoring.
This ensures that rooms are always comfortable when needed — and energy-efficient when they’re not.
Key Advantages for Businesses and Building Owners
Reduced Energy Costs
SmartSenser™ helps businesses avoid heating or cooling empty rooms, delivering immediate savings on energy bills.
Enhanced Comfort and Productivity
Occupied spaces are kept at ideal temperatures, improving comfort for staff, guests, or residents – which can boost satisfaction and productivity.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Using energy only when and where it’s needed cuts down on waste and supports sustainability goals.
Fewer Manual Adjustments
Automated monitoring and control free up staff time, eliminate human error, and ensure consistent climate management across the building.
Data-Driven Insights
SmartSenser™ logs occupancy and temperature trends, helping facility managers understand how spaces are used and optimise energy strategies further.
Quick ROI
Businesses often recover their investment through lower energy bills and reduced maintenance costs in a short time.
