Smart Occupancy
AgilQuest's Smart Occupancy is an approach for managing the use of an office building which can cut
the annual operating costs by up to 50%. Smart Occupancy is not a fine-tuning of the management of
the physical building (such as LEED certification) nor is it deployment of technology to just monitor a
building (such as seat sensors). Smart Occupancy is a radical new method for using the space within an
office building which yields far higher cost avoidance, lower energy consumption and better
sustainability than all competing approaches by a factor of five or more.
• Measure the actual use of the current office space
• Reduce the footprint and layout to only the amount and the types actually needed
• Make the remaining space as efficient as possible
Example: The federal government's GSA applied the Smart
Occupancy approach to their Washington DC offices,
consolidated six leases down to just one, renovated their
historic headquarters at 1800 F Street, and now easily
support 4500 area workers with only 2200 desks. From just
Smart Occupancy alone, GSA saved $24 million annually,
reduced energy consumption by 20 million kwh and cut
carbon footprint by 20,000 metric tons.
