Solutions / Hospitals, Schools & Campuses

Critical Buildings, Watched Around the Clock

Hospitals, schools, and campuses run dozens of buildings with lean facility teams — and some of their rooms can't go unwatched for a single night. Gostly monitors cold storage, air quality, leaks, and energy across the whole campus, and shows how every classroom and floor is really used.

The Challenge

The Stakes Are Higher Here

When a building serves patients or students, a failed freezer or a stuffy classroom is more than an operating cost.

Cold Storage That Can't Fail
Medications, vaccines, specimens, and research samples sit in refrigerators and freezers. One overnight failure can mean discarding everything inside.
Air Quality in Crowded Rooms
Classrooms, lecture halls, and waiting rooms fill up fast. Without measurement, nobody knows whether ventilation is keeping up.
Many Buildings, Few Staff
Campuses spread across dozens of buildings of different ages, with mechanical rooms nobody visits between rounds — or over breaks.
Energy-Intensive Operations
Hospitals run 24/7 and are among the most energy-intensive commercial buildings. Schools often heat and cool empty buildings on evenings and holidays.

How Gostly Helps

How Gostly Helps

Continuous records for the rooms that matter most, and campus-wide visibility for everything else.

Sensors
Continuous Cold Storage Monitoring
Medication, vaccine, specimen, and lab freezer temperatures recorded around the clock, with alerts that escalate until someone responds.
Sensors
Classroom & Patient-Area Air Quality
CO₂, temperature, and humidity room by room — so facilities can see which rooms need more ventilation, and show everyone else that the air is fine.
Sensors
Leak & Freeze Alerts Over Breaks
Leak and low-temperature sensors in mechanical rooms, residence halls, and roof drains keep watching when the buildings empty out.
Meters
Energy by Building and Schedule
Electricity, gas, and water for every building on campus, with after-hours and holiday use separated out so waste is obvious.
Space Utilization
Classroom & Space Utilization
How often each classroom, lab, library floor, and waiting area is really used — the data behind scheduling and consolidation decisions.
Sensors
Campus-Wide Coverage
A single LoRaWAN gateway can often reach several buildings, so a whole campus can come online with a handful of gateways and no new cabling.

What We Watch, Building by Building

Every campus is different. These are the rooms most teams start with.

Hospitals & Clinics
  • Medication, vaccine, and specimen refrigerators
  • Temperature and humidity in sterile and clean storage
  • Domestic hot-water temperatures for water management
  • Waiting-area occupancy and dwell time
  • Leaks and power loss in mechanical and IT rooms
K–12 Schools
  • Classroom CO₂, temperature, and humidity
  • Leak and freeze alerts over weekends and breaks
  • After-hours and holiday energy use
  • Gym, cafeteria, and library occupancy
  • Entrance traffic at arrival and dismissal
Universities & Campuses
  • Ultra-low-temperature lab freezers
  • Residence hall leak detection
  • Building-by-building energy and water
  • Classroom, lab, and library utilization
  • Dining hall and student center traffic

Why Now

Why Institutions Are Measuring Now

Accreditation, health guidance, and budgets are all asking for the same thing: records.

Surveys & Inspections
Environment-of-care surveys and health inspections ask for temperature, humidity, and maintenance records. Continuous logs make them fast to produce.
Water Management Programs
CMS expects hospitals and long-term care facilities to maintain water management programs to reduce Legionella risk. Temperature records are part of the evidence.
Healthy School Air
EPA guidance and a growing number of state programs push schools to measure classroom ventilation — CO₂ is the practical, affordable way to do it.
Budgets & Climate Commitments
Health systems and universities have public emissions targets, and many cities now set building performance standards. Both start with measured energy data.

Start With the Rooms You Can't Afford to Lose

Most institutions start with cold storage and mechanical rooms, then expand across campus. Tell us about your buildings and we'll map out a first phase.
