Water management

Detect Abnormal Consumption and Reduce Water Waste

Most water loss in buildings is invisible and continuous. It is found in the consumption profile long before anyone sees a puddle.

The business problem

Leaks discovered by invoice or by damage

A failed float valve or a cracked riser can run for months. The first indication is usually an unusually high bill or visible damage, by which point both the water and the repair cost have been incurred. Quarterly manual meter readings cannot detect a continuous overnight loss.

The IntelliGrid approach

Consumption profiles that expose continuous loss

Metered consumption is profiled by period, including overnight flow when a building should be using almost nothing. Departure from the established profile raises an anomaly and, under your rules, a work order — so investigation begins while the loss is small.

Capabilities

Water capabilities

Metering

Incoming supply and sub-meter consumption captured continuously.

Baseline

Expected consumption profile per building and period.

Leak anomaly

Continuous or overnight flow inconsistent with occupancy.

Usage trends

Consumption movement by building, riser or tenancy.

Site benchmarking

Consumption per occupant and per square metre across sites.

Water-saving initiatives

Initiatives recorded with measured impact against baseline.

Workflow

Detection to repair

STEP 1

Meter
