Challenge

Expensive after-hours heating issues strained building budgets

Managing a 70-unit building without real-time water monitoring means waiting for quarterly bills to reveal any unusual water activity — and by then, the building could have been wasting water for months, leading to excessive bills and the challenging task of locating the source of the leak across a large property.

Solution

Runwise optimized fuel use and reduced costly emergency calls

JRC Management installed Runwise’s water leak detection system to get immediate insight into leaks and unusual water activity.

Results

$125K saved and 25% less fuel used across buildings

JRC Management enhanced its operational efficiency: The real-time data provided by Runwise empowered building managers and the maintenance team to address specific lines (like the “A line” or the “B line”) for a targeted inspection. This capability reduces the time required to locate a leak and minimizes water waste. The results: Faster, more efficient maintenance responses. Catching leaks early has prevented undesired spikes in the water bill, leading to a transformed detection process that lowers operational costs.
