Water waste, leaks and damage have a major impact on facilities operation. Benchmarks indicate that on an average – 25% of water entering buildings ultimately goes to waste, most times undetected. The costs of water damage in properties keeps rising, and if you count emergency repair and restoration service, downtime in operations, customer inconvenience and high insurance deductibles – it becomes a significant burden for any management team. This is where advanced technology and innovation comes to the rescue:
Take for instance Microsoft’s new 46,000-square-metre campus. A noticeable example of how leveraging technologic solutions transformed their facilities effectiveness. In addition to the corporate’s ongoing mission to reduce its carbon footprint, the company also faced the challenge of protecting a cutting-edge research and development facility from the risk of potential water damage. By deploying advanced leak detection and mitigation solutions throughout the LEED-certified campus, Microsoft saw immediate operational and environmental benefits. In the first 12 months since installing these systems, Microsoft:
- Cut 8 million gallons of water from going to waste
- Eliminated 350 cubic tons of carbon emissions
- Reduced water consumption rates by 46%
- Saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in water bills
