Zurn adds plumbing to smart-building’s list

Zurn Canada’s Connected products to bring plumbing and restrooms into the smart-building ecosystem.

Smart-buildings operate on a larger scale and provide an opportunity for facility managers to increase efficiency and improve their bottom line.

Lighting, HVAC and security systems can all be integrated into the smart-building using a building automation system (BAS), and now plumbing can be added to that list.

“Zurn’s Connected products bring plumbing and restrooms into the smart-building ecosystem,” said Adam Findlay, Digital Sales Manager, Zurn Canada. “With real-time information about activations and water usage, users can track trends, schedule maintenance and identify small issues before they become big problems. This ultimately leads to increased efficiency and a significant savings for facility managers.”

Connected products consist of faucets, flush valves, occupancy lights, back flow preventers, water meters and pressure monitors that use a series of sensors to monitor performance and water use, then analyze the data to provide real-time insights on the plumbing and fixtures in the building. These insights are delivered through Zurn’s plumbSMART interface, which can be accessed through a website or mobile app.
