Space Analysis
Understanding how your space is used is critical to optimizing energy performance. Our space analysis service evaluates occupancy patterns, zoning, lighting, and thermal comfort to find hidden savings.
Understanding how your space is used is critical to optimizing energy performance. Our space analysis service evaluates occupancy patterns, zoning configurations, lighting levels, and thermal comfort to identify opportunities for improvement. This service is particularly valuable for multi-tenant buildings, schools, and office campuses where usage patterns vary significantly across zones.
Occupancy Analysis
We use occupancy sensors, badge data, and direct observation to map how your building is actually used throughout the day and week — often revealing that 30–50% of conditioned space is unoccupied during business hours.
HVAC Zoning Optimization
Based on occupancy patterns, we recommend HVAC scheduling and setpoint adjustments, zone reconfigurations, and control upgrades that can reduce HVAC energy use by 15–25% without any capital investment.
Lighting & Controls
We evaluate lighting levels against IES standards and occupancy patterns to identify opportunities for occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and task lighting that reduce lighting energy use while improving visual comfort.
Key Benefits
- Optimize HVAC zoning and scheduling for actual occupancy
- Right-size lighting and controls for actual use patterns
- Improve occupant comfort and productivity
- Reduce energy waste in unoccupied or underutilized areas
- Support workplace optimization and real estate decisions
- Identify opportunities for demand-controlled ventilation
