IoT & smart building
Building data that shows how spaces are really used
Occupancy, people counting and environmental sensors that give facility managers and services contractors evidence to plan around, instead of fixed schedules and assumptions.

Start with a small, defined trialSensor options chosen to suit the buildingHonest about accuracy and coverage
Practical uses, not gadgets
We focus on questions a facility team actually needs answered, then choose the sensing that answers them.
Demand-based servicing
Service washrooms and amenities based on actual usage rather than a fixed timetable.
Occupancy & space use
Understand which floors, rooms and zones are used, when, and how heavily.
People counting
Count visitors at entries and zones to understand traffic, peaks and trends.
Air quality & vape detection
Monitor environmental conditions and detect vaping in bathrooms and other sensitive areas.
Halo vape detection
Asset & equipment monitoring
Know where equipment is and when something needs attention.
Dashboards & reporting
Clear reporting the facility team can use, not raw data nobody reads.


Prove the value first, then scale
Sensor projects work best when they start small, answer a clear question and are honest about what the data can and can’t show.
Phase 1
Trial
A defined area, a clear question and agreed success measures. Where it’s useful, we compare sensor options side by side, and we’re upfront about the limits of partial coverage.
Phase 2
Scale
Roll out where the trial proved its value, with installation, connectivity and reporting designed for the whole site.
Choosing sensors
The right sensing for the question
- Trade-offs explained plainly. Different technologies balance accuracy, privacy, cost and installation effort differently. We set those out and let the capabilities make their own case.
- Privacy-conscious options that count and measure without identifying individuals.
- Wired or wireless, depending on the building, the accuracy needed and how long the system will stay in place.
- Connected securely to the building network, with data delivered in a form your team can use.

Common questions about smart building sensors
Do the sensors identify people?
Not for counting and occupancy. We use sensing options that measure presence and movement without identifying individuals.
How accurate is people counting?
It depends on the sensing technology and where it is installed. A trial is the best way to measure accuracy in your building before committing to a wider rollout.
Can it work with our existing network?
Often, yes. We assess the network during planning and recommend a separate, secure connection where that is the better option.
What does a trial involve?
Agreeing the question to answer, installing sensors in a defined area, running for an agreed period and reviewing the results together, including what the trial could not cover.

Have a question your building data should answer?
Tell us about the site and what you’re trying to understand, and we’ll suggest a practical way to test it.
