Using data and analytics can help optimize commercial space usage and identify areas for improvement. To get started, you need to identify metrics to track such as space utilization, occupancy rates, and energy consumption. Usually, the best way to go about collecting and analyzing data is by using sensors and software platforms, as well as using visualization tools to make sense of the data. Popular data analysis tools include Power BI and IBM TRIRIGA. It's important to have a data management and security plan in place. Based on the insights gained from data analysis, you can make informed decisions on how to optimize commercial space and reallocate space by implementing new technologies.
