Unlocking the Potential of Retail Spaces: Leveraging Occupant Data for Efficient Space Utilization & Operations
Retailers and Shopping Mall owners have always been interested in how many potential customers come through their doors and when. This data is an important part of understanding the success of a promotion, the analysis of conversion rates and much more.
Feedback Solutions and its partners can provide this significant data along with extensive analytics reports and dashboard inputs. Importantly, our real time occupant counts can also be used to significantly reduce operating costs through the optimization of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems -reducing the HVAC related energy spend by as much as 40%. Our highly accurate space utilization data comes with an impressive ROI and payback period as a result.
Key Benefits
The benefits of implementing Feedback’s solution by big box retailers and shopping mall owners include:
- Highly accurate (95%+) space utilization data, custom analytics and dashboard inputs.
- Reduced operating costs. Great news for retailers!
- Reduced GHG emissions – it’s good to be “GREEN”.
- Retail operations are not disrupted by the implementation of our solution as we can complete our installation after hours. We can also often use the raw data from most people counting sensors if already in place.
- Attractive ROI and payback periods even before increasing financial incentives from utility companies are applied.
Big Box Retailers and Shopping Mall owners get a lot more than space utilization data when they choose to work with Feedback Solutions. Our top notch utilization data and analytics comes with a reduction in operating costs, GHG emissions and wear and tear on critical HVAC equipment. We tick all of the boxes when our solution is fully implemented.

This solution is proven out. It will continue to produce significant energy savings, is scalable, and requires no maintenance or major retrofit.
Through Feedback Solutions’ system, the university is better positioned to justify its expansion – and to use the data to form future expansion strategies. Furthermore, the University is now beginning to use the data to identify variances in utilization that fluctuate each semester and are developing a more comprehensive, accurate understanding of actual space usage.
In many cases we’re running fans at an average of 40% speed, saving huge amounts of energy without impacting motor safety. We easily surpassed our original savings forecast.
