Predictive Conference Booking By leveraging data from a workplace management app, combined with calendar data and badge data, we have the power to automate our workday. Imagine not having to figure out what conference room to book for every meeting. Predictive analytics can recommend the appropriate conference room based on who is in the office and where they are sitting that day, and then book the appropriate room. Attendees working from home simply get an online invite. Benefits include meeting rooms that are always right-sized for the in-person audience.

Occupancy Based Building Operations With the increased focus on carbon emissions from our built environment, there is a desire to increase building performance. By integrating occupancy data with the Building Automation System (BAS), we have the opportunity to optimize energy use. From simple measures like lighting control in conference rooms, to complex applications like initiating the heating and cooling of a building based on employee arrival analysis, analytics of occupancy data can provide meaningful data to optimize operations and lower energy use.

Occupant Movement Analysis & Insights Whether you have corporate employees, doctors and patients, or college students, understanding occupant movement and dwell time can provide valuable information on the interactions within your facilities. Understanding how employees interact with a new workplace design can inform more thoughtful design in the future. Analyzing doctor and patient movement through a medical facility can highlight inefficiencies in the layout, or provide benchmarking of the patient experience. Understanding how many students are using the Student Union at a given time can inform the cleaning schedule.

APPLY SPACE UTILIZATION DATA

CASE STUDY CompTIA

Workplace Consulting

Think about how often we spend money to save money - insurance, regular car maintenance, warranties on our favorite electronics. Sometimes, it just makes sense. For example, how many of you would spend $3 to avoid spending $700?

It’s with this mindset that our client, CompTIA, decided to spend $30,000 which ultimately saved them about $700,000 in new lease costs.

we conducted a sensor-based study of seat utilization with 300 sensors carefully monitoring exactly how often seats were getting used.

Expecting a 10 percent growth, CompTIA assumed a larger space would be in its future. After all, it makes sense that additional employees would require more space. Before moving forward with a lease, however, CompTIA reached out to Little. With help from our sensor technology partner Relogix,

The results were surprising. Data gathered from sensors mounted in offices and workstations revealed an average of 34% seat utilization - about ½ of their 60% target. Little’s strategists then analyzed the utilization data and developed a set of data-driven recommendations for improving space use that not only accom-

modated immediate growth needs within the current building footprint but also included ideas for accommodating long-term growth. And, on top of it all, these results could all be realized without any space or furniture reconfiguration. If your role includes determining how to best allocate real estate funding, you may want to stop and ask yourself, “Would I spend $3 to avoid spending $700?”
