Government Facility IoT Sensor Readings

This dataset contains detailed, time-stamped environmental and occupancy readings from IoT sensors deployed across various public government facilities. It includes facility and zone identifiers, sensor metadata, and operational status, enabling comprehensive analysis for building occupancy trends, energy efficiency, and predictive maintenance. The dataset is ideal for smart city initiatives, facility management optimization, and urban planning research.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 181 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Each row represents a sensor reading from a unique device at a specific timestamp.
Facility types are randomized across government buildings (e.g., library, courthouse, municipal office).
Sensor data includes temperature, humidity, CO2, motion, and occupancy metrics.
Flag anomalous readings (e.g., temperature >40°C or CO2 >2000ppm) for maintenance alerts.
Buildings have unique IDs; devices are mapped to facility zones (e.g., lobby, meeting room, office).
Readings are collected at 30-minute intervals across 15 facilities for two weeks.
