Reduce costs on floor space

With the actual occupancy rate of meeting rooms and desks you can see how much office space is needed in the long-term. Based on this information you can decide to reduce your office space significantly by moving to another building, or renting out space to others. This is a sustainable way to lower energy consumption and save costs on rent.

Sustainable Offices with Smart Technology

The office contributes to the office durability and sustainability working with smart technology tools that regulate energy, extend the equipment lifespan, and promote hybrid working. For example, When using GoBright Room Booking, in combination with Room Control and Room Sensors, the AV equipment and lighting are only used when the room is occupied. Electronics switch on and off automatically when entering/leaving the room. Our software even has a ‘night mode’ with which the screens are automatically switched off outside working hours. The ROI in the Smart Office is about saving money in various ways with the help of technology.
