High performing buildings need water boosting systems that adapt
Commercial buildings face shifting demand throughout the day, often fluctuating significantly during peak usage times. But this shift is often ignored in most commercial buildings, leading to not only water and energy waste but also system stress and higher costs.
The challenge is clear: A fixed-pressure system cannot meet the dynamic needs of modern commercial buildings.

Elevated performance with effective water boosting
As commercial buildings face greater demand variability and sustainability requirements, effective water boosting is key to reliable operations, efficient resource use and long-term system performance.
345 California, a LEED Platinum-certified tower in San Francisco, needed a more efficient way to manage pressure across 48 floors that housed a five-star hotel and multiple offices.
By replacing its ageing boosting setup with a demand-driven solution, the building reduced annual energy use by 25% and gained a more stable, predictable water system that meets the varied needs of each facility in the building.
