Brookfield GIS
Scalable Sensor Solutions for Workplace Strategy Across Global Clients
Brookfield GIS, Canada’s largest facilities and asset management company, partnered with Spaceology to enhance their workplace strategy offering through scalable, non-invasive occupancy and environmental measurement.
Seeking an agile, short-term solution that could provide accurate utilisation insight across a range of global client sites, Brookfield engaged Spaceology to deliver a flexible, data-led sensing solution that aligned with their broader real estate and facilities strategy.
Challenge
Brookfield needed a partner that could help them deliver real-time occupancy data, environmental monitoring, and flexible deployment at scale – across industries, countries, and evolving client needs.
They were seeking:
1. A non-invasive sensor solution suitable for short-term and permanent installations.
2. Actionable workplace analytics that could integrate with their internal BI tools.
3. A data-led approach to workplace redesign, cost reduction, and experience optimisation. This had to be achieved in a way that was easily repeatable and relocatable across client sites in Canada, the US, and Asia.
Our Solution
Spaceology delivered a full-stack sensing solution that combined desk and room-level occupancy sensors, environmental monitors, footfall counters, and real-time dashboards.
Pilot programme launched in Brookfield’s Toronto head office to demonstrate feasibility and performance.
Sensors installed across multiple client environments – financial, retail, technology, and communications – on an 8-week rolling deployment model.
After data capture, sensors were relocated to new sites, allowing Brookfield to run agile measurement studies without duplicating hardware investment.
All data flowed into Brookfield’s central data warehouse via Spaceology’s API, feeding directly into Tableau for analysis.

The Brookfield-Spaceology partnership delivered measurable value across a range of workplace innovation programmes.
