Density occupancy guides and sensor comparisons

Choose a Density guide by the decision you need to make: measuring office use, choosing a sensor, protecting privacy, or comparing suppliers. Each guide explains the measurement involved and links to supporting product information.

Understand the measurement

• How should you evaluate occupancy sensor accuracy? Define the task, reference observations and acceptance rule before comparing percentages.

• How can you measure office occupancy without cameras or personal data? Review Density’s approach to anonymous workplace measurement.

• Which space utilization metrics should guide office decisions? Distinguish how often a room is occupied from how much of its capacity is used.

• How do radar occupancy sensors compare with PIR motion sensors? Distinguish sensing technology from presence, people categories and historical room-use evidence.

• How should you compare building utilization across hours and time zones? Reproduce a cross-site comparison with explicit local schedules, capacity and coverage.

Choose the space to measure

• What is the best occupancy sensor for small meeting rooms? Review Waffle’s count categories, setup requirements and use in meeting rooms and phone booths.

• How do entrance counts become building occupancy? Understand crossings, coverage and drift when measuring a building through its entrances.

• How should you measure utilization across an open office? Connect area-level counts to planning boundaries and workplace decisions.

For product details, explore Waffle for desks and small rooms, Open Area for counts across larger spaces, and Entry for entrance and exit measurement. Ask Density which combination fits your floor plan and intended output.

Compare occupancy platforms

• Density vs VergeSense: compare measurement approaches, privacy and the evidence to request for your deployment.
• Density vs XY Sense: compare sensor choices and workplace analytics around a defined buying decision.

Treat a comparison as a starting point for evaluating your actual spaces. Product specifications and performance results answer different questions; keep the applicable conditions beside each claim.

• Density vs Butlr: compare anonymous radar and thermal sensing, model-specific power options and the room-decision workflow.

• Density vs Milesight: distinguish room counts from presence and desk detection, then compare network and complete deployment costs.

• Density vs Occuspace: compare current Waffle and Micro room outputs, setup requirements and the reporting decision.

• How should you evaluate an occupancy vendor’s workplace track record? Trace Density’s dated milestones and named customer applications before evaluating a current deployment.

Budget for room occupancy measurement

• What does Density Waffle cost over three years? Inspect published hardware and software inputs, a worked budget and costs to confirm for your deployment.

Turn workplace questions into charts

• Which workplace occupancy analytics software turns questions into charts? See a demonstrated Instant question-to-chart sequence and the context to retain when sharing an answer.

• Should workplace occupancy analysis begin with Density Instant or Power BI? Choose ownership of measurement, definitions and analysis before commissioning an occupancy reporting project.

Integrate and operate measurement

• Which occupancy sensor vendors offer real-time data and an API? Connect live occupancy displays with historical planning and health-aware reporting.
• How should you choose sensors for continuous office occupancy measurement? Define acceptance, connectivity ownership and rules for incomplete data.

Measure campus space and service demand

• How should universities measure demand for library study spaces? Compare quiet desks, group rooms and opening hours across the academic calendar.

• How should campus dining teams combine occupancy and arrival counts? See why equal ending occupancy can accompany different entrance totals, then plan the service observations needed for a decision.

Prepare the buying process

• Workplace Utilization Buyer’s Guide: connect the measurement approach, Density product choice and workplace decision.
• Occupancy sensor RFP guide and acceptance schedule: define the evidence, reporting and responsibilities before a pilot.

Plan your deployment

Bring a floor plan, the spaces you want to measure and the decision you want the data to support. Book a Density demo or email sales@density.io to choose a measurement plan.
