Space Utilization
The presence and occupancy tool that puts privacy first.
Measure how your spaces are actually used through environmental data, not cameras.
What is space utilization?
Space utilization is the measurement of how much of a building's available space is actually being used over a given period, typically expressed as a percentage of time occupied or share of capacity in use. It helps real estate, workplace, and facility teams understand whether spaces are right-sized for the people using them, and where to reduce cost, expand capacity, or rethink design.

How space utilization works
Space Utilization turns presence signals into a clear, real-time picture of how every room and floor is actually being used, visible in the Airthings for Business Dashboard.
Remote management
Live data & insights
No cameras. No personal data. Just environmental data.
Airthings sensors do not use cameras. Instead they use live environmental data, including motion, sound, CO₂ patterns, temperature changes, to tell when a space is in use, without ever identifying who's in it.
No cameras
Our sensors are environmental, not visual. There is no image, no recording, and no way to identify individuals.
No personal data
Data is aggregated at the room level. We measure that a space is in use, not who is using it.
Built for trust
Employees can see exactly what's measured and how it's used. No hidden surveillance, no surprises, no need for separate privacy notices.
Why does space utilization matter?
Space utilization isn't just a workplace strategy metric. It directly affects how much you spend on real estate, how well your hybrid model works, and how efficiently your buildings run.
Right-size your real estate
Most offices are paying for square footage they don't use. Real utilization data shows where to consolidate, expand, or sublet, turning real estate decisions from gut calls into business cases.
Make hybrid work decisions
Utilization data tells you which days are busy, which spaces get used, and what your hybrid policy is doing in practice.
Optimize building services
Cleaning, HVAC, security, and catering all become smarter when they follow actual use instead of fixed schedules. Run services for the spaces people actually are using.
