Why Space Manager?

Space decisions get harder when occupancy, utilization and environmental data live in different places. Space Manager brings that information together in one connected view across buildings, floors, rooms and desks.

With a clearer picture of how space is used and performing over time, facility teams can identify underused or overloaded areas earlier, support more targeted operations and make more defensible planning decisions.

With Space Manager, you can get:

  • One connected view of space performance
  • Earlier insight into where action is needed
  • A stronger basis for day-to-day operational and planning decisions

See utilization in one connected view

Bring occupancy, utilization, capacity and spatial context together to understand how spaces perform over time, where bottlenecks emerge and where energy consumption can be reduced.

Right-size your footprint with confidence

Use actual demand patterns to see where space is underused, over-allocated or no longer aligned to need, so planning decisions are based on evidence instead of assumptions.

Make facilities operations more responsive

Shift from static schedules to usage-based operations by seeing where demand is highest, where spaces are underused and where conditions need attention so teams can target services more efficiently.

Featured capabilities

Connect space data through the Building X ecosystem

Use the Building X connectivity ecosystem to bring space data into Space Manager from sensors, building systems and third-party sources. Through supported gateways, open protocols, cloud integrations and APIs, facility teams can connect the signals they need without replacing existing infrastructure, creating a more flexible foundation for occupancy, utilization and environmental insight.

Build a trusted digital foundation for space decisions

Create and maintain accurate digital floor plans across buildings, floors, rooms and desks, so teams can work from a reliable spatial foundation instead of outdated drawings and disconnected records. Automated geometry recognition and flexible space structuring help reduce setup effort while keeping digital representations current as buildings evolve.

See occupancy and utilization in spatial context

Understand how spaces are used across buildings, floors, rooms and desks with interactive floor maps, real-time visibility and trend analysis over time. By showing occupancy and utilization directly in spatial context, Space Manager helps facility teams compare spaces more easily, identify recurring demand patterns and support better allocation decisions.

Monitor environmental quality and comfort exceptions

Track environmental quality indicators such as CO₂, PM, TVOC, humidity, temperature and AQI across sensor-equipped spaces. Where environmental data is connected, threshold-based alerts and anomaly detection help facility teams identify comfort or air quality issues early, enabling a more proactive response that supports space performance and occupant experience.

Occupancy-based recommendations for smarter schedules

Use historical occupancy patterns to recommend building schedules that better reflect how spaces are actually used. By aligning HVAC operating schedules with expected demand, facility teams can reduce unnecessary runtime during low-utilization periods while continuing to support occupant comfort.

Turn underused space into measurable savings

Translate occupancy gaps into financial insight by calculating the potential cost of underused rooms and areas. By showing where avoidable operating costs may exist, Space Manager helps facility teams prioritize opportunities to adjust service levels, cleaning routines, room policies and planning decisions based on the strongest savings potential.

Extend occupancy insight across your enterprise

Publish aggregated occupancy data at room, floor and building level for use across Building X and enterprise analytics. Through open data sharing and APIs, teams can combine space insight with operational and business data to create tailored dashboards, reporting and KPIs without requiring separate Space Manager-specific integrations.
