September 2025 – AIRIA, a self-learning spatial analytics platform, is transforming how higher education institutions optimize space, reduce costs and advance sustainability. By turning existing WiFi infrastructure into a real-time occupancy sensor, AIRIA provides facilities and operations teams with continuous insights to identify underutilized spaces, align energy use with demand and avoid unnecessary capital projects.
AIRIA equips institutions to:
- Pinpoint underutilized classrooms, labs, and study spaces with 24/7 real-time occupancy analytics.
- Cut energy waste, with typical utility savings of 10-40%.
- Avoid unnecessary new construction by repurposing existing space.
IT-Friendly Deployment:
- No new hardware required, using existing WiFi.
- Privacy-first design: collects no personally identifiable information (PII).
- Zero network impact and minimal IT effort required.
“Tools like AIRIA give campus leaders a clear, visual understanding of how facilities are being used,” said Dr. Allen Sessoms, three-time university president. “That kind of insight is invaluable for identifying inefficiencies and making smarter, more sustainable decisions.”
A Strategic Edge: Smarter, Sustainable and Secure
SMART – AIRIA doesn’t just visualize occupancy, it enables predictive campus planning. Powered by AI/ML, it learns campus patterns of life and predicts future needs, helping facility teams rightsize their physical plant and adapt operations in real time.
SUSTAINABLE – By aligning HVAC and energy use with real-time occupancy, AIRIA reduces costs while helping institutions achieve carbon neutrality and long-term sustainability goals. Facility leaders can quantify and communicate savings while advancing environmental commitments.
PRIVACY – AIRIA is built with privacy at its core, collecting no PII, fully compliant with institutional standards and designed for lightweight, non-intrusive deployment. Institutions gain powerful insights without compromising student or staff trust.
As higher education institutions face growing pressure to deliver smarter operations and sustainability, AIRIA provides a proven, data-driven foundation for campus planning. Universities adopting AIRIA are reducing costs, advancing sustainability, and future-proofing their facilities, all while protecting privacy.
