Enterprises demand a flexible, intelligent, and connected workplace as it enables its occupants to work smarter. It also helps in enhancing employee productivity and experience, leading to better employee retention and helping attract a new talent pool. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables an intelligent office to utilise physical devices for collecting and sharing data. It helps enterprises to design flexible, activity-centric workspaces to better meet employees' evolving needs by analysing IoT sensors and connected system data on how space is being utilised. It enriches employee journey maps (such as seamless access, automatic room and desk booking, and colleague or way finding) from the moment they enter the office, and creates a conducive work environment by using smart temperature and light controls.
IoT for an intelligent workplace
An intelligent workplace uses automated processes to control an office's operation including heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, lighting, security, and other systems. A smart office uses sensors, actuators, and microchips to collect data and manage it according to business functions and services. This infrastructure helps real estate and facility managers improve asset reliability and performance, which reduces energy use, optimises how space is used, and minimises the environmental impact of buildings.
Heating, ventilation, and airconditioning (HVAC): Enterprises can digitally integrate an office HVAC system with sensors and software. They can provide mobile applications and smart technologies that allow employees to customise the temperature and lighting in their workspaces. This helps in:
• Air quality and temperature management based on occupant needs
• Automatic switch-off of airconditioning and heating to avoid unnecessary energy use
