Higher Education

200 buildings. 300 employees. $50M budget. Zero visibility into what happened last night.

SiteIQ gives university facilities leaders a single operating view across every building, every system, and every dollar. From cleaning verification to energy optimization to deferred maintenance prioritization, see everything, prove what happened, and predict what is coming.

The Challenge

Converging pressures on campus facilities.

University facilities departments face converging pressures that static schedules and reactive operations can't solve. The institutions pulling ahead aren't spending more — they're seeing more.

  • 01

    $112 billion in deferred maintenance backlog across U.S. higher education (Source: Association of Physical Plant Administrators (APPA))

  • 02

    30% of facilities professionals are within 10 years of retirement — institutional knowledge walking out the door

  • 03

    Building performance standards now active in 40+ cities, with compliance deadlines accelerating

  • 04

    Second-largest operating expense after salaries, yet most campuses lack real-time visibility into building performance

  • 05

    Average building age exceeds 50 years, with systems operating well beyond design life

How It Works

From operating blind to operating with proof.

01

See Everything

Deploy autonomous floor care equipment, IoT sensors, and 3D scanning hardware across one or more pilot buildings. Within 48 hours, your SiteIQ dashboard shows real-time cleaning coverage, environmental conditions, and asset status across every floor and zone.

02

Prove What Happened

Every cleaning session, sensor reading, and maintenance event is documented automatically. Coverage reports replace clipboard audits. Energy consumption data replaces billing estimates. Deferred maintenance gets prioritized by condition data, not institutional memory.

03

Predict What Is Coming

The platform learns your campus over time. It identifies which buildings are over-cleaned and which are under-served. It forecasts energy demand and optimizes HVAC by zone based on actual occupancy. It produces NACUBO-grade facilities performance metrics on demand.

Platform

Capabilities for Higher Ed

One platform across cleaning, energy, maintenance, and space — replacing six vendors and six dashboards with a single source of operational truth.

  • CLEANING VERIFICATION

    Know which buildings were cleaned last night. Timestamped coverage maps for every cleaning session. Replace paper logs and spot checks with automated compliance documentation for accreditation.

  • ENERGY OPTIMIZATION

    10-25% reduction without replacing HVAC. AI edge controllers optimize zone by zone based on real occupancy data. Coincident peak avoidance for PJM Interconnection (PJM), ERCOT, and ISO New England (ISO-NE) territories.

  • DEFERRED MAINTENANCE

    Prioritize $100M+ backlogs with data. Facility Condition Index calculations from continuous spatial data. Allocate capital budgets scientifically instead of by political pressure.

  • WORKFORCE AUGMENTATION

    Cover more ground with fewer FTEs. Autonomous floor care extends cleaning coverage without adding headcount. When a 30-year veteran retires, institutional knowledge stays in the platform.

  • SPACE UTILIZATION

    Identify underused spaces for reallocation. Occupancy sensors and robot traffic data reveal which spaces are actually used, when, and how often.

  • DIGITAL TWIN

    Virtual walk-throughs replace site visits. 3D Gaussian Splatting creates photorealistic navigable models. Remote asset monitoring for multi-campus portfolios.

Autonomous cleaning

Campus cleaning robots, connected to your digital twin.

A campus is dozens of buildings, millions of square feet, and a custodial team that's asked to do more every year. SiteIQ's autonomous cleaning robots cover classrooms, commons, dining, and athletics facilities on scheduled routes — and every run feeds the platform as live data.

Strategic value for colleges and universities

Campus challengeHow cleaning robots help
Custodial staffing gapsRepetitive floor care automated, so teams cover more campus
Tight budgets and deferred maintenancePredictable floor-care cost and longer floor life
Campus image and recruitmentConsistently clean high-visibility spaces on every tour route
Sustainability commitmentsOptimized water and chemical use, with audit-ready data
Events and athletics turnoverLarge-area scrubbing between events without overtime
Facility visibilityReal-time coverage maps across every building

Every robot is a connected asset in your SiteIQ digital twin. Robot telemetry, cleaning coverage, and building data combine into one continuously updated view of campus cleanliness — with documentation for sustainability reporting and signals that inform facilities decisions.

Who It's For

Built for every stakeholder in the decision.

VP / Director of Facilities

I manage 200 buildings and cannot tell you if Building 14 was cleaned last night.

Portfolio-wide visibility and the data to justify every budget request.

CFO / Chief Business Officer

Facilities is a $50M black box.

OPEX-classified pricing that bypasses capital approval. NACUBO-native metrics. ROI validated from their own buildings.

Sustainability Director

We have net-zero commitments and no continuous energy data.

EUI benchmarking, ENERGY STAR integration, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting — all from continuous operational data.

CIO / IT Director

SOC 2 documentation, FERPA compliance, standard WiFi. No proprietary hardware. Open API integration with existing BAS, computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), and reporting.

Director of Auxiliary Services

Move-in day and finals week destroy my cleaning schedules.

Needs demand-responsive cleaning triggered by occupancy, not calendars.

Board of Trustees / Provost

Focused on the "Living AI Laboratory" vision. How does SiteIQ contribute to interdisciplinary collaboration?
