Smart Water Management for Commercial Facilities
For offices, shopping centers, and mixed-use buildings, water is a major operational cost and risk. The Augos platform provides the essential tools to control this expense, enabling accurate tenant billing, early leak detection, and verification of municipal bills.
Why Proactive Water Management is Vital for Your Facility
Water represents a significant and escalating operational expense in commercial facilities. Furthermore, undetected leaks can cause extensive—and expensive—structural damage, leading to business disruption and tenant dissatisfaction. The Augos solution provides building and facility managers with the granular consumption data necessary for implementing transparent tenant or departmental billing, dramatically reducing waste from leaks, and ensuring you only pay for accurate utility charges through rigorous, data-driven bill verification.
Enable Fair and Accurate Tenant Billing
Move beyond inaccurate estimates or absorbing utility costs. Our platform provides the data to fairly and accurately bill tenants based on their actual consumption, reducing disputes and improving cost recovery.
Prevent Costly Property Damage from Leaks
A single, undetected leak in a plant room or tenant space can cause millions in damages. Our system provides 24/7 monitoring and instant alerts to ensure that small leaks are caught before they become catastrophic failures.
Key Augos Applications for Commercial Facilities
Our platform is designed to solve the most pressing water-related financial and operational challenges for property managers.
Cost Allocation & Tenant Billing
Install sub-meters for individual tenants and use our platform to automatically allocate costs based on actual usage. For common areas, costs can be split automatically based on predefined rules like floor area.
Leak Detection
By analyzing the building's Minimum Nightly Flow (MNF), our platform can identify the presence of hidden leaks. We can also deploy dedicated leak detection sensors in high-risk areas like plant rooms and bathrooms for immediate alerts.
Water Bill Verification
Automatically compare your municipal water bill against your site's true consumption data. Our platform flags any discrepancies in billing rates, meter readings, or applied tariffs, giving you the evidence to dispute and recover overcharges.
Consumption Breakdown
Get a clear, hierarchical view of where water is being used across your entire facility, from the main incomer down to individual floors, businesses, or common areas like bathrooms and gardens.
How the Augos Solution for Facilities Works
Our solution utilizes smart metering and powerful software to deliver financial control and operational peace of mind.
Implement a Smart Metering Strategy
We work with you to retrofit smart Augos Pulse Sensors to your existing utility and sub-meters, or install new dedicated Augos Flow Sensors for precise main and sub-metering.
Centralize Data on the Platform
All meter data is fed in real-time to the Augos Intelligence Platform, which is configured with your site's structure and local water tariff rules.
Analyze, Alert, and Report
The platform's analysis tools—like Consumption Breakdown and Bill Verification—run automatically. The system will instantly alert you to any anomalies like potential leaks or billing errors.
Manage Billing and Operations
Use the platform's outputs to generate accurate tenant bills, dispatch maintenance teams to investigate leaks, and build data-driven cases to dispute incorrect municipal charges.
