Occupancy comparisons for workplace portfolio planning teams

Actual people counts give real estate teams a common input for comparing capacity across a workplace portfolio. Density combines radar sensors with Atlas, the analytics software, to review use at building and floor level. Staff examine whether existing areas accommodate the workforce and which locations need a closer capacity or lease review.

The sensor records feed peak and average occupancy trend charts and calendar views of utilisation. Custom operating hours exclude non-working periods, while labels identify the spaces and amenities being compared. Heatmaps provide another view of use across a floor. Building and floor data can be exported, and the team chooses timeframes to examine patterns across its workplace arrangement.

Portfolio staff use these comparisons when reviewing opportunities to consolidate space, exit a lease or change capacity on a floor. Counts support the planning discussion alongside the organisation’s workforce and operating requirements. Sharing the exported record gives decision makers a basis for examining the proposed change. The history also provides a reference for the next capacity review as the workplace’s use develops over time.
