Butlr's heat sensing technology provides insights into office utilization by tracking body temperature without cameras, ensuring anonymity. Companies are increasingly focused on optimizing space use and energy efficiency as employees return to the office. The collected data informs decisions on office layout, hybrid work schedules, maintenance, and cleaning. According to Honghao Deng, the technology allows companies to improve workplace culture, enhancing employee retention and performance by creating a collaborative environment. This shift in understanding workplace dynamics is essential for adapting to the post-pandemic work landscape.
"Butlr, a 6-year-old, San Francisco-based startup that was a spinoff of MIT Media Lab, leverages body temperature technology to understand how humans act and interact in the office without using cameras."
"By understanding how colleagues act and interact in the office while ensuring privacy, you can make it a place that is more productive, collaborative and aligned with the corporate culture..."
"Companies use the data to make decisions about layout and design, retrofits, hybrid work schedules, maintenance, cleaning schedules and lease negotiations."
"The pandemic fundamentally changed how and where people work, and even in the return-to-office dynamic, there is a greater focus on how to best utilize and monetize office space."
