Breaking Ground on Better Building
Key Insight #1: Water Leaks Are Financial and Environmental Time Bombs
The Challenge: Building owners often overlook leaks — until they cause catastrophic damage.
The Solution: WINT’s system detects anomalies in water flow and shuts it off before damage escalates.
ROI: Prevent multi-million dollar losses, qualify for insurance discounts, and support LEED certification.
Key Insight #2: A Quarter of Building Water Is Wasted
The Challenge: Intermittent use (e.g., faucets, dishwashers) hides chronic leaks — costing money and emitting carbon.
The Solution: AI recognizes patterns, flags abnormal use, and helps teams reduce consumption.
ROI: One leaking toilet can waste 100 gallons per hour — equal to a car’s yearly emissions.
Key Insight #3: Water is Energy, Risk, and Carbon
The Challenge: Most buildings don’t realize how deeply water ties into HVAC, heating, and health.
The Solution: Holistic water monitoring improves system efficiency and reduces emissions.
ROI: Cut operational costs, reduce environmental impact, and comply with tightening regulations.
