Connected moulding for use in smart building control

A system comprising:

• a plurality of moulding sections located in a physical space, wherein the plurality of moulding sections comprise a plurality of sensors configured to obtain first sensor data, wherein the first sensor data corresponds to a location of an object;
• at least one communication cable affixed at least partially within one or more of the plurality of moulding sections;
• one or more joints between various ones of the plurality of moulding sections, at least some of the one or more joints arranged to preserve communications connectivity, via the at least one electrical conductor between the various ones of the plurality of moulding sections;
• and
• at least one smart floor tile located in the physical space, wherein:
• the at least one electrical conductor is communicably connected to the at least one smart floor tile,
• the at least one smart floor tile comprises a sensor configured to obtain second sensor data,
• the second sensor data corresponds to the location of the object,
• the first sensor data and the second sensor data are used to perform smart building control using directional occupancy sensing,
• a determination is made whether the first sensor data and the second sensor data align, and
• a control action is performed in response to determining the first sensor data and second sensor data differ.
