Maximize your Building’s Efficiency
Square foot by square foot, commercial buildings are the largest consumer of energy and water. State and federal agencies are providing incentives for more efficient use of energy, improved water conservation, and better environmental quality. Commercial buildings offer the greatest potential for such improvements.
Consider these three factors:
- It is estimated by the EPA that as much as 25% of a building’s water “use” is directly attributable to floods.
- Insurance industry statistics indicate that water damage has been the source of more than ¼ of all claims made over the past 10 years.
- It is a well-known fact that mold and mildew, which are the direct result of flooding, contribute significantly to environmental damage and the cost of clean-up.
It is clear that major improvements in water conservation and environmental quality can be achieved by simply minimizing or eliminating accidental floods and mold-related issues in commercial buildings.
DTECTION IS THE ANSWER
Experience has proven that Dtection’s monitoring and protection systems have had a major impact on water conservation and environmental quality wherever they have been installed. The lead engineer of a prestigious commercial building repoted that three major water disasters were averted in the first year of Dtection’s installation yielding an ROI of over 200%. The chief engineer at another of Dtection’s installations states, “ Staying ahead of water leaks and minimizing water damage is one of my top priorities. Dtection’s early warning alert system has given our security and engineering staff the advance notice necessary to correct problems before it is too late.”
Dtection has recently extended their product line to include the capability to immediately shut down water lines when water leaks are detected. Dtection can also monitor power, pumps, switches and electro-mechanical equipment that consume energy.

The Real Cost of Water Disasters
1. Water Damage
From direct clean-up and remediation charges to the tremendous business disruption affecting both tenants and property management personnel, water damage can be very costly.
1. Water Lost
The price paid for water is not insignificant. Undetected leaks in commercial buildings typically account for 15% - 25% of a building's total water consumption (ECS). See the following table.
