Sustainability and comfort in the office: a forward-looking synergy

Imagine walking through your company’s office building after hours. Despite being empty, most rooms remain illuminated, air conditioning hums heating operates simultaneously and even computers continue to run. This scenario exemplifies unnecessary energy consumption. Although you may not own the building, there are solutions to increase energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint. With innovative IoT solutions from EnOcean, you can drive sustainability in your office.

Optimize resources for sustainability

The shift towards remote work has intensified the need for energy optimization. With fewer employees regularly coming into the office, companies often maintain the same amount of space and workstations. This results in heating, cooling, and lighting unused areas, leading to excessive energy consumption and unnecessary costs for unutilized space. Optimization is urgently needed not only for cost reasons, but above all in terms of sustainability.

Desk sharing: a step towards energy efficiency

Implementing a digital desk sharing solution can help save space, energy, and money while enhancing employee flexibility. This smart approach allows staff to book workstations and meeting rooms in advance, choosing areas that suit their daily needs, whether it’s access to specific tools or collaborative spaces. Attempting to manage desk sharing through traditional methods like outdated Excel solutions often leads to frustration and abandonment, negating potential benefits. Modern IoT-based systems offer a user-friendly and sustainable alternative.

Elevate Workplace Comfort Through IoT

Beyond optimizing space usage and reducing CO2 emissions, consider how IoT can increase well-being and comfort in the workplace. Providing the ideal temperature, lighting scenarios, and CO2 levels are crucial factors in creating a productive environment. Smart systems prevent counterproductive situations, such as open windows coinciding with active heating.

EnOcean Smart Spaces: Sustainability through digital workplace management
