SMART OCCUPANCY

Smart Occupancy refers to intelligent forms of management and use of the built environment. The definition and thoughts behind Smart Occupancy aim to increase the positive effects such as innovation and knowledge transfer between individuals and organizations associated with human activities. Further on, to decrease the negative effects, especially on the environment, public authorities or businesses... For instance, school rooms, lecture halls and office workplaces are over 90% of their lifetime and about 65% of their operating time without any use, empty. Prof. Dietmar Wiegand pointed this out in a range of extensive research in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The number of supported human activities or the intensity of building usage has been ignored so far in the ecological valuation of properties.
