Need better tools to control water and energy costs and consumption?
Operations and Maintenance, Engineering, and Facility teams at Water Utilities, Hospitals. and Higher Education Institutions are now turning to smart sensors and meters to meet their climate goals, to reduce operating costs, and to overcome the challenges of a retiring workforce. There have been major technology developments by sensor and meter manufacturers to reduce their costs, improve performance and intelligence, and expand the scope of use-cases that can benefit from continuous monitoring of critical resources and equipment.
While there has been significant investment in monitoring HVAC equipment, lighting controls and electrical grid infrastructure, other core equipment and infrastructure, such as plumbing, chillers, pumps, motors, compressors, valves, blowers, pipes, centrifuges and steam traps, are often overlooked as a source of. water or energy loss. In many cases, conservation starts with identifying and repairing equipment and infrastructure in disrepair or operating in less than optimal condition. This is difficult to do if you rely on manual inspections and periodic audits. Another benefit of using remote sensors for data collection is to automate as much of your compliance and regulatory documentation as possible, particularly for those facilities that report to stakeholders and government agencies.
Let us help you identify a pilot project to test and validate the value of sensors, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart analytics for managing energy or water sustainability. From smart water meters to in-line pressure sensors to monitoring your power plant equipment and lift stations, we work with a growing selection of vendors and network operators that can leverage secure (private, public, or hybrid) LoRaWAN or other wireless communications to provide real-time alerts, continuous low-cost data collection, reliable connectivity indoors and outdoors, and scalable solutions.
