Yanzi Networks Installation Manual – Smart Office 9 of 28

2.2 Use Cases

Depending on which use case to cover, the type and position of sensors may vary. Two typical

use cases are shown below for space utilization and comfortability.

2.2.1 Space Utilization

For space utilization, Yanzi Motion/Presence sensors are added under the table at each work

desk chair and at each chair of larger conference rooms (typically rooms with 6 chairs or more)

to detect usage. For room usage, Yanzi Motion/Presence or Yanzi Motion+ is placed on the wall

(rooms larger than 20m

are recommended to use two sensors to make sure the whole room is

covered). Selection between Motion/Presence sensor and Motion+ sensor depends on if

comfortability use case also should be covered as the Motion+ sensor monitors more things than

the Motion/Presence sensor.

Motion/Presence sensors may also be used for restroom utilization to monitor each stall as well

as the washroom.

Footfall cameras may be placed in the ceiling of each entrance to the building and can as well be

placed at the entrance to any area where specific information is wanted. The footfall cameras are

connected to the Gateway using Ethernet/PoE. This proposal do not focus on footfall cameras.

2.2.2 Comfortability

For comfortability, the work environment is monitored using for example CO

, temperature,

humidity, barometric pressure, volatile organic compounds (VOC), ambient light and ambient

noise sensors. Yanzi Comfort sensors are placed in each room (conference room, phone booths,

locker room, etc.) where people are present for longer periods of time as well spread out in open

work spaces. In open work spaces, recommendation is to use one Yanzi Comfort for each 15-25

work desks.

Yanzi Motion+ are used to monitor occupancy and light at work desks (preferably placed in the

ceiling where it covers about 6-8 work desks depending on height of ceiling). It is also used to

monitor utilization of smaller rooms such as conference rooms, phone booths, locker rooms,

storage rooms, kitchens, restrooms, etc.
