ENCLOSED SPACE OCCUPANCY DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract:

An occupancy detection system and method for an enclosed space includes a door sensor operatively coupled to a door of the enclosed space. The door sensor is configured to output a door sensor signal that indicates a status of the door. At least one presence sensor that is configured to output at least one presence sensor signal that indicates an occupancy status of the enclosed space. An occupancy detection control unit is in communication with the door sensor and the at least one presence sensor. The occupancy detection control unit is configured to receive the door sensor signal and the presence sensor signal(s). The occupancy detection control unit is configured to determine an occupancy status of the enclosed space based on the door sensor signal and the presence sensor signal(s).
