Aware Buildings and TEKTELIC Implement Leak Detection with LoRaWAN SITUATION Water leaks in high rise buildings can quickly lead to millions of dollars in property damage. This is especially true in major cities, like New York and San Francisco. While some water leaks may be easy to spot, others can go undetected for weeks or longer, causing costly damages over multiple floors. In addition to the financial costs, there is a risk that property underwriters will increase premiums following a leak. This creates the need for an advanced prop-tech solution to monitor leak detection, as well as other critical aspects of buildings, from anywhere in the world. BENEFITS The Aware Buildings and TEKTELIC solution delivers a number of benefits, including: • Reduced insurance premiums and claims • Increased tenant satisfaction and retention • Enhanced asset protection and value • Lower maintenance costs and water consumption • Easy installation and configuration • Long battery life and reliable performance 2023 USE CASE CHALLENGE The greatest challenge with building monitoring today is the cost of sensors and the complexity of their deployment. This has led to a culture of reactive maintenance in the world of building management, which usually leads to: • Excessive spending on repairs • Decreased tenant satisfaction and retention • High maintenance costs • Reputational damage to building complexes SOLUTION In partnership, TEKTELIC Communications and Aware Buildings have created a solution for fully remote building monitoring. LoRaWAN ® technology plays one of the most important roles in this solution by ensuring well-connected infrastructure for real-time monitoring. With the Aware Buildings dashboard and TEKTELIC KONA Micro gateways for LoRaWAN ® , a building manager can avoid water leak damage and significantly lower hardware- associated costs, while improving overall building management.
