Features / Space Utilization

See How Your Buildings Are Actually Used

Space is usually a building's biggest cost and its least measured one. AI cameras and wireless occupancy sensors show who is using which floors, rooms, and entrances — and when — so every space decision starts from real numbers.

Two Ways to Count, One Picture

Cameras cover big, open spaces cheaply. Sensors cover desks, small rooms, and places cameras shouldn't go. Both feed the same floor plan.

AI Cameras
For entrances, lobbies, open floors, and large rooms.
  • Runs on the IP cameras you already have — no new camera network
  • Counts people entering and leaving each entrance, by direction
  • Measures how many people are inside a room, floor, or zone
  • One camera can cover a whole open-plan area or lobby
  • Live video in the browser alongside the counts
Occupancy Sensors
For desks, meeting rooms, and anywhere without a camera.
  • Wireless presence sensors under desks and on meeting-room ceilings
  • Doorway people counters for rooms and floors
  • CO₂ readings as a second signal for how full a room is
  • Battery-powered and self-installed, like every Gostly sensor
  • Private by design — no images at all, just occupied or not

Camera Tools

Draw It, and We Count It

Draw lines, regions, and boxes on any camera view — as many as the view supports. Counts land in 15-minute buckets, like any other sensor reading.

Counting Lines
Draw a line across a doorway, corridor, or stairwell. Every crossing is counted and tagged by direction — in or out.
Regions
Trace a room, floor plate, or waiting area. We count how many people are inside it at any moment, against its capacity.
Boxes
Frame a reception desk, a queue, or a loading bay and measure how often it's occupied and for how long.

What You Measure

The Numbers Behind Every Space Decision

Occupancy vs. Capacity
How full each room, floor, and building is right now, and how that compares with what it was designed for.
Peak and Average Use
The busiest hour of the week and the typical day — the two numbers every space decision turns on.
Utilization Rate
The share of time a space is actually used. A meeting room booked all day and used for three hours shows up here.
Entrance Traffic
Visitors by entrance and by hour — which doors matter, when to staff them, and when the building empties out.
Dwell Time
How long people stay in lobbies, waiting areas, and amenity spaces — a direct read on queues and comfort.
Trends Over Time
Weekday patterns, seasonal swings, and before-and-after comparisons when you reconfigure a floor.

What Teams Do With It

From Utilization Data to Lower Costs

Right-Size Your Space
Consolidate floors, sublease what sits empty, or prove you need more — with months of data behind the decision.
Clean on Demand
Send cleaning crews to the restrooms and rooms that were actually used, instead of on a fixed route.
Condition Only Occupied Space
Line HVAC and lighting schedules up with real occupancy, and stop conditioning floors nobody is on.
Plan Amenities and Staffing
Know which lobbies, gyms, cafeterias, and service desks are busiest, and staff them to match.

Privacy

Measure Space, Not People

Space utilization is about how rooms are used, not who is in them.

Counts, Not Identities
What's stored is a number per line, region, or box every 15 minutes. Counting doesn't need to know who anyone is, and it doesn't try to.
Video Kept Separately
Live video is available to the people you authorize, and recordings are kept 7 days by default — separate from the counts, which follow your plan's history.
Sensor-Only Where It Matters
In spaces where cameras don't belong, occupancy sensors measure presence without capturing any image at all.
