Fire Prevention Tenant Comfort
Smart Cleaning
A 10% decrease in energy use leads to a
1.5% hike in net operating income,
increasing a 18.5 square meter (200k
square foot) asset value by $500k.
- Energy Star
50% of offices and meeting rooms are
underutilized or unused. Occupancy
detection sensors can decrease
building operation costs by 18%.
- Knights Frank & Texas Instruments
Overheating equipment causes 11% of
office fires in US each year. Sensors
warn of malfunction before it causes
damage.
- FEMA
As smart HVAC controls optimize temperature
and ventilation, employee productivity increases
up to 7.4% and managers spend less time
responding to hot/cold calls.
- ACEEE
Labor accounts for 80% of service
contractors’ costs. Sensors that track usage
and soiling allow you to use fewer people to
clean and improve quality.

Energy costs account for 10-15% of a
supermarket’s operating expenses with 60-70% of
energy consumption due to refrigeration. Sensors
that reduce energy consumption by 10% increase
profit margins by 16%.
- Dexma
Sensors that automatically record temperatures
for food storage units can save a single store 60%
of a full time employee’s salary.
Fresh fruits and vegetables account for
50% of all spoilage due to temperature
sensitivity. Sensors alert you to
unexpected temperature spikes,
avoiding $30,000 in losses caused by
malfunction of a single refrigeration unit.
