To manage office space effectively, agencies need accurate occupancy data. Occupancy data is a vital tool agencies use to accurately evaluate space utilization and manage property accordingly. Agencies can collect occupancy data using various tools, but accuracy is key to making informed decisions. Choosing the right method ensures reliable reporting and better space management.
Occupancy data collection tools
Agencies covered under the Chief Financial Officers Act can use occupancy data tools to meet the requirements of the Utilizing Space Efficiently and Improving Technologies Act or USE IT Act, outlined in Section 2302 of the Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act of 202.
Some technologies may require an agency IT security review and must meet Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program standards. Before deployment, all hardware must be assessed for security risks and approved for connection to the agency’s production network. Tenant agencies are responsible for managing and maintaining their own sensors. We will only oversee sensors in public buildings and federally managed facilities controlled by the Public Buildings Service.
