Most of us are currently working from home, but we can not wait to go back to our offices, schools, industry and use public transport. The one million dollar question is: HOW?
Experts are sure that the answer to this question may not be valid only for the re-opening but that this way of working is going to be the new normal. Before the crisis for example offices had a low occupancy levels of 40%-50% on average, and spaces were as well not optimally used. Everybody was working hard on getting data to maximize the usage of the buildings to increase profitability and comfortable areas.
The last period of time have changed the priorities almost everyone reacted properly and we now find comfortable to work remotely, but what is going to happen after this crisis?
- Employees working 2-3 days per week at the office with a social distance of 1,5 m with 1 way walking routes.
- Companies ensuring healthy, safe and flexible workplaces with help of desk sharing and accurate occupancy and environment data
- Monitoring social distancing at pick hours and flow in metro stations by areas with lots of people moving at the same time.
Combining data like occupancy, temperature and CO2, it is possible to create heat maps and automatic/smart alerts. This will show how many people are in the building, how do they use meeting rooms and where the concentration spots are, to re-focus cleaning services.
