Terrestream for Facilities

Know which rooms need attention.

Even when campus is empty. Holiday closures. Sudden cold snaps. An open window in an empty room. Bring room conditions and outdoor weather into one prioritized campus view, so your team knows where to go and what to check first.

Lower operating costs. Lower institutional risk.

Aerodyne Inc. has worked with more than 50 universities across the United States. Aerodyne reports the following results from one heating season on a Midwestern campus that stayed mostly empty over the holidays.

21%lower HVAC and maintenance costs

Year over year, reported by Aerodyne as measured by the university.

35sensors

Five buildings. One heating season. No hubs or gateways to install.

One nightover winter break

With campus nearly empty, staff reached a room as its temperature approached freezing.

These owner-reported results describe one campus and one heating season in Aerodyne’s facilities work. A detailed baseline and measurement method are not published here; the figures have not been independently verified and do not establish savings for a new Terrestream installation. Savings and outcomes vary; similar results and loss prevention are not guaranteed.

The checks that matter

From room conditions
to a maintenance priority.

Choose a concern to see the signal, the rooms it can affect and the first check to make.

What you see

Room temperature is falling while outdoor conditions are below freezing.

First check

Check heat delivery and exposed plumbing in the affected room.

Explore the campus connections
Illustrative campusChoose a priority above or in the diagram
The six priorities your team would investigate

Freeze risk

Room temperature is falling while outdoor conditions are below freezing.

First check. Check heat delivery and exposed plumbing in the affected room.

Open window suspected

One room cools rapidly toward outdoor temperature while nearby rooms stay stable.

First check. Inspect windows, exterior doors and drafts; confirm the cause on site.

HVAC fault suspected

Rooms served by the same system fail to maintain their expected temperature range.

First check. Check the thermostat, local equipment and heating or cooling delivery.

Excess heating or cooling

Room conditions suggest unnecessary conditioning during scheduled unoccupied hours.

First check. Review operating schedules and temperature setbacks against actual room use.

Dampness & mold risk

Persistent high humidity or condensation risk calls for a moisture check.

First check. Inspect for damp surfaces and moisture sources; review ventilation and dehumidification.

Ventilation shortfall

COâ‚‚ remains elevated during occupied periods.

First check. Review occupancy and outdoor-air delivery; check the ventilation system.

Terrestream room sensor with its built-in display
One sensor. No separate hub.

Simple to place. Useful all year.

Start in the rooms
you worry about most.

Temperature and humidity reveal changing conditions. COâ‚‚, particulate matter and gas indexes help your team investigate ventilation and air quality long after heating season ends.

  1. 01
    Power and connect.

    Plug into continuous USB-C power and join approved campus Wi-Fi with the Terrestream app.

  2. 02
    Give every sensor a place.

    Choose its building and room. Prepare locations in the dashboard or add them as you install.

  3. 03
    Confirm readings. Start reviewing.

    Your team shares one campus workspace, with room history and a record of checks and recovery.

Documented security controls

Our documentation maps information security controls to ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 and SOC 2 control themes, and selected device capabilities to NISTIR 8259A, ETSI EN 303 645 and NIST CSF 2.0. These are documented alignments, not third-party certifications.

For facilities, IT, and procurement

Clear answers.
A confident start.

Does it know that a window is open?

It measures room conditions. Cooling patterns and outdoor conditions can suggest heat loss; a person checks the window, heating, and other possible causes.

Does this replace our inspection program?

No. Monitoring helps prioritize checks. Required inspections, heat protection, maintenance, and insurer requirements remain part of your program.

What if a sensor goes offline?

The room view shows missing or stale readings as unknown. Use a fallback check when reliable readings are unavailable.

Are email and text alerts available?

Yes. Alerts are sent to a verified primary contact by email and text message. If no one acknowledges an urgent alert, a backup contact gets it after the delay you set. Alerts go out only during the coverage hours your team chooses, around the clock or on a weekly schedule; an alert raised outside those hours waits until coverage starts. Administrators can see delivery status, and each incident records who acknowledged it.

Can our team use the data elsewhere?

The Facilities workspace exports incidents and their activity log as CSV files. Optional local HTTP and MQTT access support your own network integrations. Discuss hosted API access and any building-management integration requirements when scoping your order.
