Utilisation Studies
Understanding the true utilisation of your footprint has never been more important, with rising energy costs, ageing estates, a shift to hybrid working models and a need to implement carbon reduction plans. Utilisation and ethnographical studies can provide insight to help clients build a compelling case for change.
When making key decisions about real estate, it is important to understand how assets and space are being used and why. There are several ways in which GenNorth can support clients to generate this type of data; which is often required when substantiating a case for change or to build a future-focused spatial model. In order to work towards net carbon targets and create a sustainable real estate strategy, it is more important than ever to ensure building footfall and utilisation is part of the business intelligence data and readily available to inform future decisions.
Solutions may range from traditional observational surveys to more permanent sensor-based installations, depending on the client needs and project scope / timescale. GenNorth provide support in developing and implementing the right solutions for
this type of data capture, and the reporting mechanisms to ensure the data can become part of a wider asset management tool as well as informing individual pilots and projects.
