Building monitoring for municipalities

Monitor schools, childcare facilities, sports halls and offices centrally. SECURUS connects readings from your properties with clear responsibilities. Heating faults, basement water and unusual indoor climate conditions are reported to the responsible technical team, supporting targeted inspections and service planning.

Typical tasks in municipal buildings

Heating and water: Heating monitoring provides information from the plant room, while leak detection reports water at defined risk points. Technical and on-call teams are notified according to the building’s rules.

Air quality and heat in classrooms. CO₂ readings show when to ventilate; in summer, room temperatures show which rooms overheat. This supports ventilation routines and heat protection plans. More under indoor climate.

Energy outside hours of use. Energy monitoring shows which equipment runs at night or on weekends, in kWh and costs as an indicative estimate.

Start with a few buildings

A practical starting point is a specific building and task, such as a sports hall with recurring heating faults. Measurement points and coverage are checked on site. Notifications and responsibilities are then tested in everyday operation before adding further properties.

You decide who sees which buildings and who receives which alerts, using roles and notification groups, including caretaking services and external partners.

Monitor cold rooms in canteens and kitchens

Cold room monitoring reports temperature deviations to the responsible group and supports records. Kitchen staff, maintenance and refrigeration contractors agree limits and responses.

Areas of application

Suitable applications for your buildings

Schools and nurseries

In classrooms and group rooms, CO₂, temperature and humidity readings show when to ventilate and which rooms overheat in summer. In school restrooms, vape detection prompts an on-site check.

Green spaces and street trees

Soil moisture measurement shows which trees and plantings need water.

In all buildings

Every building has plant rooms, basements and washrooms. Leak detection, equipment monitoring and flow and return temperatures report water, faults and unusual heating behavior; fill level sensors show when refilling is needed.

In practice

Introduce monitoring in municipal properties

A manageable start with a specific task helps coordinate property management, IT and technicians.

Use consistent building names

Use the building, floor and room names already familiar to maintenance and administration teams. Record access arrangements, contacts and monitoring point assignments. This supports staff cover and later expansion to more properties.

Account for holidays and closures

Agree who receives out-of-hours alerts and has access. Responsibilities during extended closures may differ from normal operation.

Check radio coverage at measurement points

LoRaWAN can connect many sensors through one gateway. The number required for a school or larger site is checked at the actual measurement points.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from municipal building teams

Do all buildings have to be equipped at the same time?

No. You start with the buildings where it helps most and expand step by step. Consistent naming from the start keeps your estate easy to manage.

Does every sensor need access to the school Wi-Fi?

No. The sensors transmit via LoRaWAN to a gateway in the building. Only the gateway needs an internet connection, via network cable or cellular network. We agree the integration with your IT department.

Who receives the alerts?

The people and groups you choose, such as a school’s building services team or the on-call service. With schedules, you decide when alerts are sent, for example only outside hours of use.

Can heating and indoor climate be monitored together?

Yes. Suitable points for heating systems, classrooms and other areas can share SECURUS. Responsibilities and limits are configured separately.
