Challenge
CBRE are seeking innovators cutting-edge technologies that can make a significant impact in transforming how spaces are monitored, managed, and utilized.
CBRE are particularly interested in solutions in the following areas:
- Occupancy Detection and Analytics: Innovative sensors or systems that detect the presence, movement, or behavior of individuals in a given space, with applications in energy efficiency, smart buildings, and automated facility management.
- Security and Safety Monitoring: Solutions focused on integrating occupancy sensors for enhanced security, access control, and safety alerts, particularly in high-risk or sensitive environments (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing).
- Smart Building Systems: Integration of occupancy sensors with smart technologies to create fully automated environments—managing lighting, temperature, security, and other systems based on real-time data.
- Real-Time Monitoring Solutions: Remote monitoring systems that allow for continuous tracking of critical variables such as temperature, air quality, and occupancy for facility managers, building operators, and safety personnel.
- IoT-Enabled Systems: IoT-enabled solutions that allow data from occupancy sensors and remote monitoring devices to be transmitted, analysed, and acted upon remotely via cloud platforms or mobile apps.
- Data Analytics and Reporting: Advanced analytics solutions that collect data from remote monitoring and occupancy sensors to provide insights, predictive maintenance, and intelligence for improved operational efficiency.
