Owners and tenants of office buildings can significantly reduce energy consumption and CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions by implementing smart working conditions. Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Normandie impressively showed how a genuinely smart and enjoyable workspace can be realized using a smart automated system for managing meeting room reservations. For this, the company installed around 100 sustainable and cost-effective EnOcean occupancy sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The potential of smart meeting room management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For ten years, Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Normandie in Caen (France) and its 800 employees have occupied a 20,000m<sup>2<\/sup> building. While this mutual bank\u2019s main mission is to support the local economy, it also wants to provide outstanding working conditions to retain and attract talent. The bank is also keen to manage its large real estate portfolio to optimize its assets. To meet these goals, it has been considering building-related services for its employees and customers for several years. Visitor access to the companies Wi-Fi in conference rooms being one of them. However, the company recognized that implementing a smart meeting room management meant a great potential for energy savings. The location in Caen has conference rooms with 250 resp. 500 seats and 30 meeting rooms. Employees can book these on the spot with a QR code, in advance through an app, or from a laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/perpetuum.enocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/case-study_credit-agricole_banner_1400x350-1140x285.jpg\" alt=\"Conference rooms like this one at Cr\u00e9dit Agricole in Caen are made smart with occupancy sensors from EnOcean\" class=\"wp-image-14871\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Conference rooms like this one at Cr\u00e9dit Agricole in Caen are made smart with occupancy sensors from EnOcean<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EnOcean occupany sensors for smart workplaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile users like the room reservation app, which is more user-friendly and responsive than our previous solution, we still weren\u2019t able to know if these meeting spaces were actually occupied,\u201d Flavien Deguette, the bank\u2019s Head of IT, points out. What procedure should be triggered if a room has been reserved but nobody turned up? In principle, it should be immediately tagged as being \u201cunoccupied\u201d on the schedule, thus making it available for others. However, until now this was impossible as it required too many resources. Consequently, Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Normandie decided to optimize its existing resources by installing EnOcean occupancy sensors. Today, around 100 of these sensors have been installed in the meeting rooms and their benefits are numerous. The first is that they do not require a battery as they are solar-powered. Secondly, they can be connected to the building\u2019s infrastructure, e.g., Aruba Wi-Fi hotspots equipped with an EnOcean dongle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Radio coverage by EnOcean dongle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows the open and interoperable communication protocol that these sensors require to use the existing Wi-Fi network. In fact, the radio coverage of an Aruba access point is identical to that of an EnOcean dongle. All the sensor data is routed to a platform, the IoT Connector, hosted at Jooxter. The lifespan of these sensors is over 25 years, proof of their sustainability. If a reserved room is unoccupied for more than 15 minutes, its status will then show as available. \u201cOur objective is to reclaim 20% of unoccupied reserved rooms, which would already be a very good start,\u201d Flavien Deguette explains. It should be noted that these sensors can be detected and secured using Aruba ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI). This provides a full spectrum of network visibility to understand the context of connected devices, such as type, vendor, hardware version and behavior, including applications and resources used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhancing the building\u00b4s value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Normandie is now able to optimize the availability of these meeting rooms. The company will soon be testing multifunction EnOcean sensors. These can detect temperature, humidity, brightness, and vibrations thanks to an accelerometer. They will be placed on tables or desktop computers. The slightest vibration sends data indicating that the office is in use. The aim is to know whether a \u201cFlex Office\u201d is occupied or not and pass this data to <a href=\"https:\/\/jooxter.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"opens a new tab\">Jooxter<\/a> via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arubanetworks.com\/en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"opens a new tab\">Aruba Wi-Fi 6<\/a> access point integration. Employees can find out in advance whether a certain office is vacant. The bank is also planning to install an internal GPS solution. This will make it easier for people to navigate to their next meeting room using their smartphones. This infrastructure also makes it easier to track workstation use. EnOcean sensors are simply added to and powered by the Aruba Wi-Fi 6 access points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic and ecological benefit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, both benefit from a management software tool which has been used and mastered for several years by the administrative team. \u201cWhat appealed to me was how easy it was to administer the Aruba solution. It only took half a day to install the sensors, pair them with the Wi-Fi access points, and get everything up and running with Jooxter,\u201d Flavien Deguette explains. Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Normandie is one of the first banks to use occupancy sensors to enhance its digital workplace. This is a first step towards compliance with the BACS (Building Automation &amp; Control Systems) regulation, which requires commercial buildings to control and limit their energy consumption by 2025. Aruba, solution partners Jooxter, and EnOcean deliver seamless integration of interoperable platforms capable of meeting these sustainability goals, both economically and environmentally. This results in smarter building management thanks to data that remains local and secure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart workplace at Cr\u00e9dit Agricole: How 100 EnOcean
