Software-Led Insight for School Buildings

Optimus Logic Ltd is developing a software platform designed to help buildings use energy more efficiently by improving how existing systems are operated. As part of this development, we are working with a small number of schools to validate our approach in real operational environments.

Purpose of the Pilot

The pilot programme is designed to:

Better understand how school buildings operate in practice

Identify inefficiencies in HVAC operation and scheduling

Test a software-led, data-driven approach to energy optimisation

Generate evidence to support further development and deployment

The pilot focuses on analysis and insight, not live system control.

What the Pilot Involves

Participating schools may receive:

Review of existing energy and operational data, collecting BMS points for analytics

Analysis of HVAC operation, schedules, and run times

Identification of inefficiencies and optimisation opportunities

Clear, understandable insight into energy performance

There is no installation, no disruption, and no requirement to change existing systems,

however implementing IoT devices for secondary site systems for improving efficiency and air quality comfort by monitoring Heating, Cooling and Ventilation systems.

What the Pilot Does Not Involve

To ensure safety and simplicity, the pilot does not include:

Changes to live control strategies

Automation or remote control of systems

Hardware installation or replacement of existing equipment

Commercial or contractual commitments

The pilot is strictly observational and analytical

Duration and Commitment

Typical pilot duration: 8–12 weeks

Engagement required: limited input from estates or facilities staff

Participation is free of charge

The pilot is non-commercial and non-binding

Who the Pilot Is For

The pilot programme is intended for:

Primary and secondary schools

Universities and Campus buildings

Education buildings with existing heating and energy systems

The approach is particularly suited to cost-sensitive environments where major capital investment is not feasible

Organisations want to reduce OpEx cost without or with minimal CapEx investments, at the same time improving HVAC systems

Why Participate

Schools participating in the pilot may benefit from:

Improved understanding of energy use and system behaviour

Early insight into potential efficiency improvements

Contribution to the development of practical, school-focused solutions

No financial cost or obligation
