Enhanced Leak Detection and Monitoring with Live Buildings Technology

Enhanced Leak Detection and Monitoring with Live Buildings Technology

Live Buildings' Live Riser and Toilet Monitoring Systems are revolutionizing water management with their advanced capabilities in leak detection, flood prevention, and regulatory compliance. Backed by industry-leading hardware and software integration, these systems deliver significant savings while supporting sustainable practices.

How It Works

The Live Riser Efficiency System is a smart water grid solution that uses inline water meters installed on cold-water risers feeding apartment units, toilets, tubs, and sinks. These meters provide line-by-line consumption data, enabling property managers to detect leaks, monitor water usage, and prevent costly water loss.

The Live Point (Toilet Monitoring System) further enhances this capability by installing end-use sensors on toilets, faucets, and showers. These sensors collect granular, fixture-level data, helping to identify specific sources of inefficiency quickly and accurately. The data is fed into the Live Buildings Cloud, where it is analyzed and monitored in real time, with alerts generated for anomalies or inefficiencies.
