Description
The School Heating Asset Health & Fuel Optimisation service provides continuous thermal comfort compliance monitoring and heating system health assessment for municipal schools in Athens. By exploiting thermostat sensor data combined with outdoor weather observations and electricity consumption telemetry, the service builds a continuous picture of indoor thermal conditions, classifies each monitored interval as compliant or non-compliant, and identifies heating system failures, fuel availability issues, and equipment degradation patterns.

Monitoring & Anomaly Detection
Predictive & Prescriptive Analytics
Business Need
Most municipal schools in Athens operate diesel-fired heating systems that are ageing, imprecisely controlled, and difficult to monitor without dedicated sensor infrastructure. Thermal comfort deficiencies in schools directly affect learning conditions, yet they often go undetected until they become severe. The service provides the central education and facilities management teams with automated, evidence-based monitoring that prioritises corrective action based on severity and cause, enabling proactive intervention before conditions deteriorate.
Key Performance Indicators
Thermal compliance rate: proportion of teaching-hour intervals within acceptable temperature bounds
Thermal model accuracy: MAE between predicted and actual indoor temperatures
Cause classification accuracy: agreement rate between service alerts and confirmed root causes
False positive rate on heating system failure alerts
Data Provided
Thermostat sensor readings at 15-minute resolution from instrumented schools
Outdoor temperature observations and degree-day data
Electricity consumption telemetry for correlation with heating system performance
Greek school calendar, term dates, and published timetable structures
Weekly compliance reports and portfolio-level league tables
