A few feet can make a big difference

Occupancy sensors are designed to detect movement and automate lighting control, but performance depends heavily on placement. Poorly located sensors can create coverage gaps, false triggers, and inefficient operation. Our occupancy sensor BIM modeling services help teams coordinate sensor layouts before construction begins.

Better sensor placement leads to better building performance

Occupancy sensors support energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and automated building operations. BIM helps project teams review sensor locations and coverage requirements before installation.

  • Sensor locations reviewed
    Device placement evaluated for effective coverage
  • Lighting systems coordinated
    Sensors aligned with lighting control strategies
  • Ceiling systems considered
    Devices coordinated with surrounding components
  • Project teams stay informed
    Layouts reviewed before field installation begins

What you get in every occupancy sensor modeling package

Our occupancy sensor BIM modeling package includes everything required for sensor coordination and installation planning.

  • Occupancy Sensor BIM Modeling – Detailed sensor layouts and device locations
  • Lighting Control Coordination – Integration with lighting systems and controls
  • Sensor Coverage Reviews – Evaluation of detection zones and placement
  • Ceiling Coordination Modeling – Coordination with ceiling-mounted systems
  • Building Automation Integration – Alignment with control and automation platforms
  • Clash Detection Reviews – Identification of coordination challenges
  • Revit Occupancy Sensor Models – Detailed BIM models for project teams
  • Coordination Drawings – Documentation that supports planning and installation

 

We develop models that help teams improve coordination, coverage, and operational efficiency.

From sensor locations to coverage reviews

  • Occupancy sensor BIM models
  • Lighting control coordination
  • Sensor coverage evaluations
  • Project documentation and drawings

Sensor adjustments are easier to make before installation

Relocating devices after ceilings are complete can affect schedules and budgets. BIM helps teams evaluate sensor layouts before construction progresses.
