Every School in the District, on One Screen

Districts and universities run dozens of buildings with a handful of facility staff, and those buildings sit empty every evening, weekend, and break. Gostly watches classroom air, leaks, and energy in all of them.

The Challenge

Big Portfolios, Small Teams, Tight Budgets

A district's buildings span decades of construction, and nobody can walk all of them every day.

Crowded Classrooms
Thirty students in a closed room push CO₂ up within the hour. Without measurement, nobody knows which rooms ventilation isn't keeping up with.
Many Buildings, Few Staff
Mechanical rooms, portables, and gyms go unvisited between rounds — and over winter break, nobody is there when a pipe lets go.
Heating and Cooling Empty Buildings
Schools are occupied a fraction of the week, yet HVAC and lighting often run on the same schedule they did years ago — evenings, weekends, and holidays included.
Space Decisions Without Data
Enrollment shifts, but rooms are scheduled from habit. Closing, consolidating, or building is a multi-million-dollar call made on room-booking spreadsheets.

How Gostly Helps

How Gostly Helps

The same sensors in every school, compared side by side.

Sensors
Classroom Air Quality
CO₂, temperature, and humidity room by room, with a district-wide ranking of the classrooms that need ventilation attention first.
Sensors
Restroom Vape Alerts
Vape and air-quality sensors in restrooms and locker rooms alert administrators the moment they trigger — no cameras in private spaces.
Sensors
Leak & Freeze Protection Over Breaks
Leak and low-temperature sensors in mechanical rooms, kitchens, residence halls, and roof drains keep watching when the buildings empty out.
Controls
Automatic Shutoff & Lighting
Close a water valve the moment a leak is detected, and turn off lights and equipment in rooms that are empty or after the last bell.
Meters
Energy by School and Schedule
Electricity, gas, and water for every building, with after-hours, weekend, and holiday use split out — so the schools wasting the most stand out.
Space Utilization
Classroom & Facility Utilization
How often each classroom, lab, library, gym, and cafeteria is really used — the data behind scheduling, consolidation, and capital plans.

What We Watch, Building by Building

Most districts and campuses start with one building, then roll the same kit out to the rest.

K–12 Schools
  • Classroom CO₂, temperature, and humidity
  • Restroom vape detection
  • Cafeteria walk-in coolers and freezers
  • Arrival and dismissal traffic at entrances
  • Portables and gyms after hours
Colleges & Universities
  • Lecture hall and lab utilization
  • Ultra-low-temperature research freezers
  • Library and study-space occupancy
  • Dining hall and student center traffic
  • Building-by-building energy and water
Residence Halls & Athletics
  • Leak detection under sinks and in mechanical rooms
  • Pipe-freeze alerts during winter break
  • Laundry and common-room usage
  • Locker room air quality and humidity
  • Arena, pool, and field-house energy

Why Now

Why Schools Are Measuring Now

Health guidance, aging buildings, and budgets are all asking for the same thing: data.

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.
Energy Is a Top Operating Cost
After salaries, energy is one of the largest line items in a district budget. Every dollar saved on empty buildings can go back to classrooms.
Records for Boards and Inspectors
School boards, parents, and health inspectors ask for proof. Continuous logs of air, temperature, and alerts answer with data instead of anecdotes.
Climate Commitments
Universities have public emissions targets, and many cities now set building performance standards. Both start with measured energy data.
