Resense Move
Resense Move stands apart in the sensor market by combining AI-powered people counting, indoor air quality monitoring, and BMS-ready design all within one sleek device. At the core of Resense Move is its AI-powered thermal sensing, which goes beyond simple presence detection.
Unlike traditional sensors that can only tell if someone is in a room, Resense Move can accurately count the number of people in a space while still respecting occupant privacy. This level of detail enables precise HVAC adjustments and smarter energy use, directly supporting both comfort and efficiency.
Real-time adjustments
Resense Move enables real-time adjustments to HVAC systems based on actual occupancy
By integrating directly with building management systems, Resense Move enables real-time adjustments to HVAC systems based on actual occupancy. Its AI-powered people counting allows buildings to condition only the spaces in use, while reducing wasted energy without disrupting occupant comfort.
Resense Move also supports healthier indoor environments. With a built-in VOC sensor that monitors air quality and empowers facility teams to increase ventilation only when needed, organizations can avoid unnecessary energy usage, while ensuring their spaces have continuous, healthy airflow.
Resense Air
Resense Air empowers occupants to monitor and adjust settings within a space, enhancing comfort and well-being. With Resense Air Display, occupants can easily view and change temperature and humidity, while advanced multi-sensing technology tracks temperature, humidity, and CO2 to maintain healthy air quality.
Designed for seamless integration, the Resense Air Series works with ECL LonWorks, ECB BACnet, and Eclypse BACnet/IP controllers. Its consistent configuration and backwards compatibility simplify installation and upgrades, saving time for system integrators and facility teams.
Resense Air Display
