New Atrius(TM) Spaces from Acuity Brands Helps Building Managers Use Occupancy Data to Evaluate and Plan Space Allocation
August 16 2017 - 08:16AM
ATLANTA - August
16, 2017 - Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI) introduced
today Atrius(TM) Spaces, an Internet of Things (IoT) platform
service that helps customers manage space utilization using a
building's occupancy data. Atrius Spaces, which includes a web
application and an application programming interface (API), can be
used to efficiently allocate and plan for spatial requirements,
allowing building managers to optimize facility operations and
budgets, as well as the overall management of a building or campus
throughout its lifecycle.
Atrius Spaces converts occupancy
data available from the Atrius Sensory Network (through
nLight® lighting controls from Acuity Brands) into a value-added
building and business solution. The Atrius Spaces web application
visually represents real-time usage of spaces and provides metrics
based on historical data that identifies peak and average space
utilization and types of spaces used within one or multiple
buildings. Using optional Map Design and Site Audit services,
building managers can access room, floor and building plans from
any standard web browser at any time and from anywhere.
In addition, the Atrius Spaces
platform service features an API that allows developers to easily
integrate the service with existing customer tools and dashboards,
or create different applications, making IoT integration easier to
achieve.
"New occupant dynamics, such as
shared workspaces, "hoteling" for employees who travel frequently,
and those who intermittently work remotely, make accurate space
utilization data critical to building operation," said Greg Carter,
Acuity Brands Lighting Senior Vice President, Software Products.
"Atrius Spaces reduces the effort required to collect, interpret
and analyze data, and provides real-time actionable insights into
to a building's space utilization, which allows building managers
to focus on optimizing space tailored to tenant and employee
needs."
The Atrius brand encompasses the
entire portfolio of IoT business solutions from Acuity Brands. The
Atrius framework delivers connectivity and intelligence to a space
via an expansive network of smart LED lighting and controls and a
software platform that gathers, unlocks and transforms raw data to
enable a broad range of software solutions addressing critical
business challenges. Atrius solutions have already been deployed
across more than 60 million square feet of spaces, leveraging more
than a million nodes.
