Desk Utilisation

measurable.energy uniquely leverages existing desk-level energy data to deliver actionable desk utilisation data all without installing a single sensor. By distinguishing active vs. standby energy use, we can determine real-time usage patterns down to the individual desk, eliminating the need for costly, complex sensor installations.

How measurable.energy delivers £40 per desk per year in value and beyond

Zero Additional Hardware:

  • No new sensors, no battery replacements, no calibration.

  • We use existing smart socket infrastructure to extract occupancy data — immediately reducing Capex and install disruption.

  • Occupancy systems like Vergesense and XYSense require upfront hardware investment and physical access to spaces.

Desk-Level Precision:

  • Unlike traditional area-based or bank-based systems, our solution identifies occupancy at the individual desk, not just in zones or banks of desks.

  • This granularity enables hyper-targeted space optimisation decisions.

Trusted Benchmarks: Same Output, Better Efficiency

  • Vergesense: £40/desk/year (based on sensor costs for banks of desks).

  • XYSense: £30–£50/desk/year (based on sqm conversion).

  • measurable.energy: Delivers comparable occupancy insight valued at £40 per desk/year, without hardware costs or space design constraints.

What you get:

  • Daily max occupancy levels: See in real-time if areas are underused or over-occupied.

  • Desk usage trends by room, team, or office: Inform relocation, consolidation, or release of office space.

  • Forecast future space needs: Avoid unnecessary office expansions or lease extensions.

Cost-Saving Impacts:

  • Prevent overspending on underused space.

  • Identify and release surplus office space. real estate savings can reach £100s–£1000s per desk per year.

  • Improve employee experience with optimised desk availability and space planning.
