SBC Amsterdam

Intelligent working environments with the EO Smart Space Sensor and Capstone

The idea behind

Smart Business Concepts, Amsterdam

Smart Business Concepts (SBC), based in Amsterdam, stands for forward-looking solutions in the fields of Smart Building and Workspace Intelligence. The company demonstrates how modern office spaces can be designed around users’ needs with the help of innovative sensor technology and intelligent software.

In its own offices, open workspace and kitchen area, SBC uses the IP-based STEINEL EO Sensor as a key component of its smart office control system. The aim is to gain valuable insights into how the spaces are used while supporting room comfort and demand-based building control.

The EO Sensor detects movement and presence, measures temperature, brightness and humidity, and thus provides a comprehensive picture of room usage and the recorded environmental conditions. In combination with Capstone software, the data is visualised and analysed in real time, providing a high level of transparency and enabling targeted control of the spaces.

EO use for building analysis

Six IP-based EO Smart Space sensors are installed in the SBC office space. The infrared matrix presence detector detects the presence of people with a 360° panoramic view and controls the lighting in the open workspace, individual offices, large meeting room, and kitchen depending on movement or presence.

An unoccupied meeting room with the lights turned off

In areas where no one is present, the lights are automatically switched off.

A meeting room occupied with the lights on

When the rooms are in use, the lights switch on automatically.

A tablet on the wall shows the status of room usage. Red means occupied, green means free.

The connection between hardware and software

Capstone

The Capstone® software solution detects and visualises all EO IP sensors in the network. This provides a complete overview of the building status: temperature, humidity, presence, brightness and number of people. Based on the analysed data, optimisation suggestions for better space utilisation can then be generated.

Various dashboards are available to visualise the data, providing a clear overview of the building status.
