Driving towards NET Zero
Make real estate assets work harder to reduce their environmental footprint
Commercial real estate is a major contributor to an organizations carbon footprint. Poorly managed spaces can result in wastage of resources, unnecessarily increasing this impact. Maintaining spaces to a high grade also contributes to usage of energy, cleaning chemicals, plastics and food waste. By using occupancy as a driver to manage space, businesses can reduce energy and resources needed to maintain these spaces and improve performance and drive towards net zero environmental impact.
Use technology to become carbon efficient
- Better utilize existing spaces
- Forecast capacity and measure impact
- Automate working patterns to meet sustainability goals
- Monitor sustainability metrics from one integrated platform
- Identify real estate consolidation opportunities
- Protect health and wellbeing with greener office technology
- Develop smarter buildings and drive towards NET Zero
Manage sustainability with a clear picture of asset performance for every floor, building and its facilities. Identify occupied space, open spaces, and floor plan capacities, and reduce wasted space and energy. Integrate sensors and display screens to manage efficient working environments.
Accelerate ROI
Shift management
Measurable
Forecast the impact of your organization’s growth and expansion with predictive analytics. Determine capacity levels for buildings, comparing the ‘true attendance’ value against office use. Utilize dashboards and sensor data to identify space needs, working patterns and opportunities to reduce unoccupied spaces.
Monitor
Various space sizes
Manage
Determine which space your employees want to use across your organization, and align working patterns to match your real estate strategy. Consolidate departments across floors, maximizing space utilization and only powering spaces that need to be used. Sensors, Space Planner and Analytics can help you achieve these goals.
Automate
Shift management
Cost reduction
Streamline your organizations occupancy data into one management platform, centralizing insights needed to make greater impact. Reduce food wastage, optimize employee schedules and manage energy consumption more efficiently. Combine data from various sources including sensors and calendars into one common administration portal.
Cost efficient
Real-time
Measurable
Create smarter offices, controlling capacity, floor and space usage-based on actual demand, space availability and attendance. Consolidate data and reduce office footprints, measuring every change in real-time with sensor technology. Utilize dashboards to forecast future impact, space needs and new trends.
Accelerate ROI
Manage
Tried and tested
Improve the quality of workspaces being used by your workforce, facilitating collaboration with hybrid working. Identify places being overheated or heated when not in use and adjust levels to suit occupancy. Combine digital signage and elevator management to reduce elevator miles and increase liveliness of spaces. Nudge employees to make healthier choices and reduce wastage.
Save time
Accelerate ROI
Measurable
Identify opportunities to reduce emissions across your real estate portfolio and develop a clear action roadmap. Employ an integrated platform to inform space usage, access control, workspace quality and employee satisfaction. Align energy utilization with building occupancy and effective space management.

The Cleanreader™ scanner can make your cleaning operation more efficient
The Cleanreader™ is designed to receive notifications for daytime cleaning of spaces, planning end of day cleaning, and creating an audit trail of activity.
We know cleaners can be there for hours, cleaning spaces that don’t need to be cleaned. But with this system, we can control and ensure that only spaces that need to be cleaned are cleaned, not those that haven’t been used.
Raul Gomez de Avila – Firmenich
Key benefits
- Forecast cleaning requirements, use less chemicals and single use plastics.
- Perform audits on the go, marking spaces as clean in real-time to maximize spaces in use.
- Integrated with central platform, support automation of space availability and real-time displays.
- Remove paper-based log boards and create a fully digital FM operation.
