For example, with AgilQuest's OnBoard, employees badge in when they arrive at the
building, and once they do, they're reminded if they have a reservation for a particular
workstation. If they have a reservation, the system is poised to automatically power
that space up when the employee gets to it. If they don't have a reservation, they're
prompted to make one. In the mean time, no building services are firing to power
empty spaces. This marriage of GSA's Smart Building (which encompasses data points
like HVAC, electricity, and lights) and Smart Occupancy (which concerns who is where,
when) initiatives has yielded both a powerful solution for the workforce, as well as an
additional 10 percent energy savings.
