HVAC Control
156 Milesight Indoor Air Quality Sensors are deployed in the office building to monitor the IAQ conditions for a healthier working environment. IAQ sensors can enhance HVAC system efficiency by providing accurate and real-time data on indoor environmental conditions. By utilizing this data, HVAC system can adjust its operations to optimize energy usage while maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
Besides, 78 Milesight VS121 Space Occupancy Sensors are installed in each of the meeting rooms, tea rooms, and multimedia rooms. These sensors, integrated with the Milesight UC100/UC300 LoRaWAN® Controller, optimize air conditioning by reducing energy usage in unoccupied rooms. This results in energy saving, cost reduction, and enhanced building sustainability.
Lighting Control and Management
Milesight's WS202 PIR Sensor communicates directly with the WS558 Smart Light Controller via Mileisght D2D Protocol featuring LoRaWAN®. When people are detected, WS558 activates stairway lights within 1 second, reducing unnecessary energy usage. The system ensures lights are on only when needed, saving energy and promoting an eco-friendly environment.
Through the Milesight IoT Cloud app or web platform, managers can control lighting and create customized timing schedules anytime and anywhere. This curbs electricity costs, even if lights are left on unintentionally.
Automatic Power On/Off for Machinery and Equipment
To ensure a comfortable working environment at Milesight, in-house gym and cafe area are set in the building. Yet, continuous operation of amenities like coffee machines and treadmills can cause needless energy usage and higher costs. To address this issue, an intelligent power management solution can be implemented using the Milesight WS523 Smart Socket. By integrating this smart socket into machines, employees can enjoy automated power control, leading to energy savings and increased efficiency.
Smart Waste Management
Several large garbage bins are positioned at the rear of the building to serve as the waste collection area for daily disposal needs.
Milesight deploys EM400-MUD Multi-Fuctional Ultrasonic Distance/Level Sensor to closely monitor the garbage bin fill levels, and waste collection companies can optimize their collection frequency based on real-time needs rather than adhering to a fixed schedule. This approach not only conserves time and resources, but also reduces the number of garbage trucks on the roads, ultimately leading to a decrease in carbon emissions with sustainable energy polices.
Water Efficiency
To decrease grassland of Milesight building irrigation water consumption, employing sprinklers instead of stationary or traveling guns can lead to a significant reduction in water usage. Moreover, to optimize the water use management, Milesight UC512 LoRaWAN® Solenoid Valve Controllers have been installed outdoors. They are utilized for enabling remote irrigation for the grass yard as well as setting water usage schedules at the dishwashing area of Milesight to prevent water theft. As a result,there was a 13% reduction in outdoor water usage.
Enhance Employee Comfort and Satisfaction
Indoor Air Quality
As mentioned earlier, maintaining a good level of indoor air quality significantly enhances HVAC efficiency. It is also crucial for employees to work in a conducive environment. Elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can lead to symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), making the installation of Milesight AM Series IAQ Sensors in buildings essential.
Each meeting room and functional space is equipped with at least one sensor, allocated based on the area of the room. Additionally, in the open area workstations, sensors are installed for every few tens of square meters.
Smart Restroom
With Milesight Smart Restroom Solution that integrates advanced operational and environmental sensors and IoT technologies, the restroom can be upgraded to be smart enough to break through the limitations of traditional restrooms, thus enhancing occupants' comfort.
User-Friendly Automated Curtain Control
During the lunch break, employees usually take a nap and recharge. With the use of WS558 and UC100 LoRaWAN® Controller, the lights will automatically turn off, and curtains will close. As the break ends, a sequence of music will play, followed by opening the curtains and turning on the lights. This improves the waking up experience for employees. Curtains will also adapt based on the season and time. For example, in summer, if the sun shines directly into meeting rooms at 4 PM, the curtains will lower automatically to cool the space and save energy on air conditioning.
Easy Operation in Meeting Room
To elevate the meeting room using experience, the Milesight WS156 Smart Scene Panel is employed. It empowers occupants to preset 6 ambient scenes. A simple button press can trigger automatic activation of lights and air conditioning in the meeting room.

Revolutionizing Space Utilization
Employees Traffic Analysis
Utilizing the Milesight VS133 AI ToF People Counting Sensor provides insights into space capacity and usage patterns. This assists building managers in efficiently allocating resources for the lobby.
The AI 360°Panoramic Fisheye Camera's AI people flow analytic function enhances employees' traffic analysis during morning check-in, further improving efficiency. Real-time people flow statistics contribute to enhanced space utilization, energy efficiency, and business value.
Meeting Room Utilization
VS121 AI Workplace Occupancy Sensors provide real-time data on whether a meeting room is occupied, vacant, or underutilized. As the picture below shows the web application, between 9 am and 6 pm, the meeting rooms exhibit substantial utilization, with the usage metric reaching 49.94%. This accurately reflects efficient occupancy and utilization of the spaces.
Integrating VS121 with room booking systems enables employees to check the availability of meeting rooms instantly. If a booked meeting room remains unoccupied for a certain period (15 min set at Milesight), the VS121 occupancy sensor can trigger an alert and release the meeting room. This prevents rooms from being unnecessarily reserved but left unused.
Hot Desk Management
At Milesight, although most workstations are fixed, the VS341 Desk Occupancy Sensor serves the purpose of monitoring flexible hot desks and shared common workspace areas. With it placed underneath individual workstations, the VS341 collects occupancy data and wirelessly transmits it to the cloud. Any changes in desk occupancy status initiate communication between the VS341 and the DS3604 E-link IoT Display using Milesight D2D. Thus, the DS3604's occupancy status is swiftly updated within 1 second, delivering a clear signal regarding workstation availability.
Parking Space Utilization
There is an underground parking facility in the Milesight building. To enhance parking space management, we have installed EM400-MUD Multifunctional Ultrasonic distance and level sensors. These sensors enable real-time monitoring of parking spot occupancy and availability, thereby reducing parking management costs and enhancing efficiency.
Building Security and Employee Safety:
A Focus on Protection
Face-Human Recognition
Milesight's AI cameras ensure the security of the entire building, such as door control and monitoring.Milesight AI Box's Face-Human Recognition feature can not only identifies individuals but also alarms personnel in critical situations.
Ensuring Gym Safety for Employees
Ensuring Gym Safety for Employees To guarantee employee safety during gym activities, the gym incorporates an AI box for fall detection, instantly notifying pertinent personnel. Furthermore, in emergency situations, employees can activate the WS101 button, prompting an alert to be dispatched to the administration. Meanwhile, a direct link to a live camera feed facilitates ongoing monitoring of the gym's environment, enabling rapid response if needed.
