Smart Water Monitoring and Legionella Prevention
Forest Rock, a leading provider of hardware and solutions for system integrators in the Building Management System (BMS) space, has partnered with Quandify to revolutionize smart water monitoring.
By implementing Quandify’s CubicMeter, Forest Rock addresses growing concerns around water usage efficiency and legionella prevention in modern buildings.
This collaboration highlights the increasing demand for non-invasive, multi-functional technologies that offer quick installation, seamless integration, and comprehensive insights for smart building water management.
Meeting the Need for Smart
Water Management
Forest Rock collaborates with a network of 60–70 system integrators, enabling them to provide innovative solutions for end-customers. In this project, the end-customer—a government entity—needed a solution to monitor water usage to monitor and prevent legionella bacteria growth, and support their evolving smart building initiatives.
The customer had identified the CubicMeter as a perfect fit due to its:
• Non-invasive design, allowing clamp-on installation without pipe modifications.
• Multi-functional features: water usage monitoring, temperature tracking, ambient temperature sensing, and leak detection.
These capabilities aligned with their vision of centralizing control and improving efficiency in their large, multi-building facility.
Smart Building
Evolution
The customer’s smart building ambitions included:
• Remote monitoring of water systems.
• A display system at the entrance to provide real-time insights into water usage and temperature trends.
• Tools for proactive management, such as detecting stagnant water for legionella prevention through usage and temperature data.
Implementation
To showcase the CubicMeter’s capabilities, Forest Rock installed four devices across different pipes within the facility. The installation process was remarkably quick, minimizing disruption—a critical advantage for the project.
Key Benefits of the CubicMeter for Water Monitoring and Legionella Prevention
1.Non-Invasive Installation:
The clamp-on design minimizes installation time and eliminates the need for invasive modifications.
2.Multi-Functional Device:
The CubicMeter integrates water monitoring, leak detection, ambient temperature and water temperature sensing into a single unit. This 4-in-1 functionality simplifies operations and reduces the need for multiple devices.
3.Legionella Prevention:
By tracking water stagnation and temperature, the CubicMeter helps facilities identify areas prone to legionella bacteria. This enables proactive flushing and drainage to maintain safety and compliance.
4.Smart Building Integration:
The CubicMeter seamlessly integrates with BMS platforms like Wattsense, aligning with modern smart building trends such as remote monitoring and control.
