FINANCIAL BENEFITS
Reduced Energy Consumption
The energy consumed by hardware such as lights, HVAC, AV and fans is only used to the extent required by the people using the space. No more ‘lights are on whilst no one is at home’.
Targeted Capital Expenditure
By understanding the use of spaces managers can target the number and type of hardware to acquire (such as LED lighting, fans, AV) enabling a capex to be lower and/or spread out over time.
Reduce Peak Energy Demand
Peak demand energy costs are lowered as BRIM sheds energy use within a site and shifts energy between grid & solar, batteries.
Longer Asset Life
The life of lighting, HVAC, fans, and AV will be extended if their used is managed proactively to fit with use of the space by people. This will reduce operational and capital expenditure.
Reduce Wasted Space
Space is optimised by understanding how and when people are using a space enabling decisions to be made about repurpose of the space or reconfiguration.

Improved Citizen Liveability
Improved Focus & Concentration
Staff can see and learn where, within a working space, they will work or study best by understanding which areas are vacant, warm or cool, dark or light, noisy or quiet and exposure to CO2.
Safety & Security
By being 24/7 aware of the presence of others in a space (campus or residence) educators, health professionals, managers, patients, carers and students receive alerts of abnormal movements. Staff, students, carers, patients and emergency responders will know the location of groups of people if lock-downs occur.
Sedentary Behaviour
By measuring the level of kinetic energy in a space managers and staff can know how often people are moving over any period of time and decide, encourage or remind the cohort to get up and move.
Empathy
Staff, students, patients, carers and visitors become aware of their contribution to a better planet by learning when their space is using renewable energy.
Emergency Response
BRIM will aid emergency prevention, response time, post-event analytics and overall intelligence.
Critical Event Decision Making
Pre-Event
BRIM collects data on movement patterns, energy usage, distributed audio analysis and temperature gaining insight into how a building is used and environmental data inside the building. This provides a detailed understanding of what is expected and therefore unexpected in any measured property.
Real-Time Emergency Response
When a disaster occurs, where are people congregating? Where are they likely to do so? What is the real-time motion showing the temperature map and what are sound properties throughout the building? This can assist authorities to prioritise their efforts and resources in response to disasters such as bush fires, earthquakes and terrorist incidents. They will know where groups of people are located at lock-downs.
Post-Event Forensics
After the event, BRIM provides a detailed data cube for the building or buildings involved. This means you can go back and replay the event including real-time, fast forward and jumping to key moments and viewing sequence of events. The collected data is available for further correlation with other data sets and images.
Health and Ageing
Redesign patient and staff movements for greater efficiency.
People Based Analytics
Police/Emergency Services
Occupants and managers will know of other presence on site 24/7 and receive alerts of abnormal movements. Police and emergency services can receive vital statistics for the last known locations for people and the building. BRIM installed on emergency power circuits will continue to report real-time data to assist with rescue operations.
Intelligence
BRIM also delivers deeper insight into what is happening in a building. This gives decision-makers a window into a facility that includes raw data (measurements), statistically or mathematically processed data (averages, means, max, min,) and indices into the data volume. We also provide our predictive data to help analysts understand what is typical and what is non-typical in the volume of data.
