It lets employees see available spaces in real-time to support office hoteling.
• Well-being Analytics: Helps enhance the well-being of building occupants and increase their productivity by actively monitoring temperature, humidity, CO2, noise, light and volatile organic compound (VOC) levels. Facility managers benefit from a proprietary Comfort Score that helps to proactively pinpoint spaces that have consistent comfort issues that impact occupants’ work environments.
• Geo-location and Wayfinding: Increase employee productivity by helping them save valuable time and avoid frustration with a mobile navigation app that quickly provides the location of meeting spaces, desks, or other amenities. It also maintains digital floor plans, so they are always up to date.
