In a world of work in full transformation, where teleworking and flex office are redefining uses, optimizing spaces is becoming an economic and human imperative. SNCF understood this well: based on occupancy data, the company redesigned its 250,000 m² of offices to offer better comfort to its 18,000 employees while reducing its real estate bill. Decryption of an exemplary project for property managers.
Today, 60% of offices are occupied less than 3 days a week. The result: unnecessary energy consumption, chronic underuse of square meters, and an often degraded employee experience.
For managers of tertiary buildings, occupancy data is becoming an essential lever for:
In Saint-Denis, SNCF manages a tertiary campus of 4 buildings with 18,000 employees. To meet new ways of working, it has transformed its offices into flexible spaces, with one priority: to adjust the occupied areas without sacrificing comfort.
🔍 Technology put in place:
“Thanks to the occupancy data, we have avoided €100,000 in redevelopment work.”
Jean-Philippe Marel, Work Environment Manager, SNCF
Reinforced comfort : better distribution of spaces, end of saturated areas
Reduction of unused m² : release of entire compartments
Informed decisions : arrangements guided by usage data
Energy efficiency : The equipment is switched off on 50% of the spaces on Friday
And even unexpected effects: flow analysis made it possible to detect a Summer Intrusion, by accurately retracing the path of intruders using sensor data.
Beyond the optimization of square meters, occupancy data is part of a logic of sustainable performance. At the time of Tertiary decree and energy reduction goals, businesses have every interest in equipping themselves with tools capable of Objectively Measure the Real Use of Their Buildings.
To go further:
The SNCF case perfectly illustrates the strategic interest of an approach based on occupancy data. For property managers, it is a concrete opportunity toIncrease the use value of spaces, of Reduce Burdens, and of Offer a Smoother Employee Experience.
