AFDD improves efficiency of water network
Automated Fault Detection Diagnostics (AFDD) is a measurement science which has traditionally been used in Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to identify and rectify faults; often resulting in significant energy savings (10 – 30% of energy costs). Detecting faults…
Smart Water for Irish schools
The Waternomics project comprises two pilot buildings in Ireland, both located in Galway (a city with a population of about 70,000 on the west coast of Ireland). The buildings are (i) the New Engineering Building at the National University of…
Preparing Waternomics pilot at Thermi
Waternomics aims at developing a water information platform that can be deployed in a wide range of environments. To gain understanding of the impact of a specific operational context on the system, Waternomics organises three pilots in different locations in…
Got leaks? – we can hear them!
At TU Delft, we started an experiment to collect information about water leakage. In order to detect leakages, a new method was used to detect them. Ad Groenewegen, the Waternomics technician at TU Delft, tested a microphone that is able…
Planning for water savings at Linate airport
Like small cities, airports operate water distribution networks. Used for both industrial and potable water purposes, these airport networks distribute over a million cubic meters of water per annum. Like all water distribution networks, there are pumps and wells to…
Comics for Waternomics usage scenarios
One of the biggest problems in raising awareness for water use is accountability of water consumption from the user perspective. To put in simple words: How can a platform know who consumed water? How much did he consumed and for…
Saving water through better information
A key problem in water management is the lack of decision support tools that present meaningful and personalized information about usage, price, and availability of water in an intuitive and interactive way to end users. As a result, end-users are…
From application to value proposition
Within Waternomics, smart water applications are being developed for each of the three pilot sites. To gain understanding of the business context for these applications, a value proposition design process has been started. During this process, Waternomics will design and…
