Free calculator — building & occupancy

ROI calculator building: estimate savings based on actual occupancy

Estimate a building’s optimisation potential using occupancy data: energy, cleaning, services, floor area and operating costs.

Occupancy
Compare costs with the actual use of spaces.
Operations
Test potential savings on energy, cleaning and services.
Profitability
Project ROI and the payback period of your project.
Public buildings, companies, libraries and corporate restaurants

Why calculate the ROI of a people-counting solution in a building?

Visitor traffic and occupancy connect operating costs with actual usage. They can help adapt services, schedules, floor areas or resources when decisions currently rely on estimates.

Main calculation drivers

  • average occupancy rate and actual area used
  • energy costs
  • cleaning costs
  • services and operating costs
  • initial investment and recurring solution cost
  • multi-year savings projection

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate the ROI of a people-counting system in a building?

The calculation compares estimated annual savings on energy, cleaning and services with the initial investment and recurring solution costs.

Why measure actual occupancy?

Actual occupancy distinguishes available floor area from space that is really used and supports operational decisions with objective data.

Is this calculation suitable for a public building?

Yes. Drivers may vary, but the tool is suitable for public buildings, offices, libraries and other environments where actual space usage affects costs or services.

Are the results guaranteed?

No. This is a simulation based on your assumptions. It is designed to compare scenarios and prepare a more detailed assessment.
