Privacy-Centric Occupancy Monitoring with HibouAir

In today’s workplaces, schools, and public spaces, building managers are under constant pressure to optimize comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. One of the biggest challenges is understanding how spaces are being used. Traditional occupancy monitoring solutions often rely on cameras or motion sensors, raising concerns about privacy and surveillance.

Why CO2 is a Reliable Indicator of Occupancy

Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide (CO2). In enclosed environments, CO2 levels rise proportionally with the number of people in the room. By monitoring changes in CO2 concentration, it becomes possible to estimate occupancy without tracking individuals or compromising their privacy.

This approach eliminates the need for cameras or intrusive technologies, making it an ideal solution for workplaces, classrooms, restaurants, and shared public spaces where trust and privacy matter.

HibouAir: More Than Just an Air Quality Monitor

HibouAir is a standalone, plug-and-play indoor air quality monitoring device. Beyond its core role in tracking CO2, temperature, humidity, noise, and particulate matter, HibouAir doubles as a privacy-centric occupancy meter.

• No cameras, no personal data collection
• Accurate occupancy insights based on CO2 trends
• Compact, discreet, and easy to install

The HibouAir Smart Analytical Dashboard

To make data truly actionable, HibouAir comes with its Smart Analytical Dashboard. This cloud-based platform transforms raw CO2 and air quality data into meaningful insights that help building managers understand how their spaces are being used. The dashboard not only provides real-time occupancy estimates based on CO2 levels, but also presents a clear picture of other environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, noise, and particulate matter.

By visualizing occupancy patterns over time, managers can easily identify whether certain areas are underutilized or becoming overcrowded. This information is invaluable for improving space allocation and planning. At the same time, the dashboard enables facilities teams to optimize ventilation systems more intelligently, reducing unnecessary energy consumption while ensuring air remains fresh and healthy. The result is an environment that balances efficiency with comfort, ultimately enhancing the well-being and productivity of everyone inside.

Seamless Integration with Other Systems

HibouAir isn’t limited to its own dashboard. Thanks to its open data accessibility, HibouAir can be easily integrated into building management systems (BMS), IoT platforms, or third-party analytics tools. This makes it a versatile choice for organizations looking to implement CO2-based occupancy monitoring at scale.

Towards Healthier, Smarter, and More Private Spaces

By combining accurate CO2 monitoring with advanced analytics, HibouAir provides a simple yet powerful way to understand how spaces are being used—all while protecting individual privacy.

For businesses, schools, and public institutions that want occupancy insights without surveillance trade-offs, HibouAir sets a new standard.
