City of Lahti - City Hall workspace occupany rate

Written by Supersight | 23/03/26 10:00

Supersight is powering real-time workspace utilisation insights at Lahti City Hall — one of the country’s most architecturally significant public buildings, originally designed by Eliel Saarinen.

After a €22M renovation, the City of Lahti faced a familiar question: how are the spaces actually being used? Not estimates. Not surveys. But real, continuous, reliable data.

Starting February 2026, our system has been:

  • Measuring actual occupancy across workspaces

  • Providing continuous, anonymised utilisation data

  • Enabling evidence-based decisions on space use

All without cameras, without stored images, and without tracking individuals.
This project was not straightforward. Integrating modern sensing into a protected, historically valuable building required precision — both technically and architecturally. But that’s exactly where we thrive.

What makes this meaningful is not just the technology.
It’s what it enables: better use of public assets, smarter hybrid work strategies, transparent, data-driven decision-making and reduced waste in underutilised spaces. Public sector organisations across Europe are asking the same question right now. Lahti is taking a clear step forward.
