What is occupancy analytics and ambient intelligence?
- Occupancy analytics: the collection and analysis of data about how spaces are occupied over time, including occupancy counts, utilization rates, and movement patterns.
- Ambient intelligence: systems that sense the environment and respond autonomously to support human needs, such as adjusting HVAC and lighting based on real-world use.
- Thermal, camera-free sensing: a heat-based, non-visual approach that provides anonymous, privacy-preserving occupancy data suitable for public and shared spaces.
Providers such as Butlr deliver ambient intelligence platforms that use heat-based, camera-free sensing to provide anonymous, real-time occupancy and activity insights for buildings while integrating with existing building controls and analytics tools.
