Water meters in buildings: Accurate consumption tracking for greater transparency

Water meters enable consumption to be measured on a usage-based basis and provide transparency in the allocation of water costs. Techem offers water meters for a variety of applications—from residential water meters to building water meters for higher flow rates. Depending on the installation situation, solutions are available for in-wall, surface-mounted, or valve-mounted installations.

Solutions for New Construction and Existing Buildings

The Techem portfolio includes various water meter solutions for new construction and existing buildings:

• Wireless water meters with single-jet technology
• Wireless measuring capsule water meters with multi-jet technology
• Wireless measuring capsule water meters for replacing third-party brands
• Valve meters and tub/shower fixtures for retrofitting
• Wireless T-piece water meters for replacing hot water cost allocators

Remote Meter Reading Without Entering the Unit

Thanks to wireless technology, consumption data can be collected remotely without having to enter units to take readings. This simplifies processes for property managers, owners, and residents. At the same time, wireless meter reading supports the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Directive, which is increasingly making remotely readable metering technology the standard. The corresponding Techem technologies are EED-compliant and form an important component of digitized building and billing processes.
