Pipe Pressure
Aware Building's wireless sensors, which monitor pipe pressure and temperature, provide continuous real-time data on the building's water systems, allowing for early detection of anomalies such as pressure drops or temperature fluctuations. These sensors play a crucial role in improving safety by identifying potential risks like pipe bursts or leaks before they escalate into costly and dangerous situations. This proactive monitoring helps prevent water damage, mitigate fire safety issues, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards, fostering a safer environment for residents.
From an operational efficiency standpoint, these wireless sensors reduce the need for manual inspections, saving time and labor costs. Automated alerts enable quick responses to issues, minimizing downtime and avoiding reactive maintenance, which is often more expensive than preventative measures.
Valve Controller
Aware Building's wireless sensors for managing pipe valve controllers allow for precise control and monitoring of a high-rise building's water distribution and emergency shut-off systems.
By continuously assessing valve positions and performance, these sensors enable the automatic or remote closure of valves in response to detected issues, such as leaks, excessive pressure, or unusual water flow patterns.
This rapid-response capability is critical for preventing significant water damage, improving resident safety, and maintaining uninterrupted building operations.
For building managers, Aware Building’s valve control sensors provide a powerful tool for maintaining control over water systems, ensuring quick responses to potential issues, and reducing labor costs associated with manual inspections.
For board members, this technology supports efficient budget use, enhances property protection, and helps to safeguard residents and assets by minimizing the risk of water damage and unplanned maintenance. These sensors ultimately contribute to a safer, more reliable, and cost-effective building environment.
Water Leak Detection
Aware Buildings' Leak Detection, or Aware-LD is a moisture and leak detection solution that is used for monitoring, measuring, and mitigating water damage. It is comprised of a collection of water proficient, self-installable sensors, and an automatic shut off valve controller that we tailor to each building and use case.
Our leak detection sensors operate via LoRaWan technology, which allows for reliable, building-wide deployment.
Additionally, clients have the option to opt for partial deployment if their area(s) of concern(s) are localized, or would simply like to initiate a smaller installment before committing to a building-wide installment.
Configure your sensors to send audible messages to your front desk staff with our annunciator add-on option, receive text and email alerts, and receive your aggregated analytics right on your Aware Buildings dashboard.
Below is a sample leak alert message - sent to your phone, or the Annunciator speaker box.
The Annunciator is the solution to accessing/sharing information right when you, your staff, and your residents need it. Place it at your front desk, in your office, in your lobby, or any other area with a valid WiFi network connection and receive/transmit instant notifications that help inform and instruct your community.
With our quick self-install option, your Annunciator solution can be up and running in minutes.
Freeze Detection
Aware Building’s wireless sensors for freeze detection monitor critical areas like walls, pipes, and individual apartments for temperature drops that could lead to freezing conditions.
These sensors provide early alerts when temperatures approach levels that can cause pipes to freeze and burst, allowing building managers to respond quickly to prevent damage.
In a high-rise residential building, where pipe networks are extensive and serve multiple units, a frozen pipe can lead to significant water damage, costly repairs, and disruptions to residents. Early detection helps mitigate these risks by allowing timely intervention, such as increasing heat in affected areas or deploying insulation solutions.
Operationally, freeze detection sensors improve efficiency by reducing the need for routine inspections in hard-to-access areas, especially during colder months. They also enable a more proactive maintenance approach, allowing staff to address freezing risks before they result in emergencies. This reduces downtime, maintenance expenses, and the labor involved in reactive repairs, while also safeguarding essential systems that provide water and heating to the building’s residents.
For building managers, Aware Building’s freeze detection sensors provide a reliable tool for preventing costly freeze-related damages, enabling swift responses that protect both infrastructure and residents’ property. For board members, this technology represents an investment in the building’s safety and operational resilience, supporting proactive maintenance and reducing the risk of large-scale emergencies. These sensors ultimately contribute to the property’s long-term value by preserving structural integrity and ensuring uninterrupted service for residents, fostering a safer and more comfortable living environment.
Power Loss
Aware Building's wireless sensors for monitoring power loss provide continuous oversight of the electrical systems in a residential high-rise, alerting building managers immediately when power interruptions occur in critical areas, such as lighting, HVAC, elevators, and emergency systems. By detecting power losses in real-time, these sensors allow managers to respond swiftly, restoring services and preventing extended downtime that could inconvenience residents or jeopardize safety. Early detection also helps mitigate potential risks like emergency lighting failures, HVAC shutdowns, or elevator entrapments, ensuring a safer environment and reducing liability concerns.
From an operational efficiency perspective, these sensors support proactive maintenance by identifying the specific areas and equipment affected by power issues, allowing for targeted inspections and repairs. This reduces unnecessary troubleshooting, saves time, and minimizes labor costs. Furthermore, the data collected on power loss incidents can help managers identify trends, such as recurring issues in specific circuits or equipment, enabling long-term improvements in system reliability and energy management.
For building managers, Aware Building’s power loss sensors enhance operational resilience by enabling immediate responses to electrical interruptions, reducing downtime, and minimizing resident inconvenience.
For board members, these sensors provide a safeguard for resident safety, lowering potential repair costs and improving the building’s overall reliability and appeal. By investing in power loss monitoring, the building can achieve more efficient energy management and ensure consistent, dependable service that supports resident satisfaction and protects property value.
