Data for Optimized Energy, Comfort, Security & Utilization

Indoor comfort and air quality are key considerations.

Presence data is gathered through occupancy sensors, HVAC systems following policies, BLE/Wi-Fi tracking, CO2 monitoring, and anonymized readings.

Comfort and Air Quality

Measurements include temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, alongside balancing these factors.

Flow patterns are tracked, with limits set for crowd density, training data collected, and reports generated to analyze occupancy.
