PRESS RELEASE: April 1st, 2023

Smartvatten Joins Smart Building Collective

The Smart Building Collective is pleased to welcome Smartvatten to the SBC ecosystem as we work together to improve the way the world manages and conserves water. Smartvatten is the first partner of Smart Building Collective in the water management space and we are so pleased to have them bring their expertise into the ecosystem. Uncovering over 30.000 leaks on average per year, Smartvatten is making tremendous impact in water consumption, conservation, and education. Smart building technology gives us the ability to monitor and manage, and in the area of water, it has never been more important.

“Growing up in the dessert, water consumption was always a thing, short showers, and a consciousness that it was important to be mindful about how we use water. Many years later and a lifetime of observation and experience, it is clear that it is a global challenge, we need to be more conscious about how we use, conserve, and manage water. Beyond that, observing damage caused by leakage to commercial real estate makes a very clear case for looking at water holistically. We are pleased to learn from Smartvatten, experts in the field.” - Nicholas White, Co Founder Smart Building Collective 

Smart Building Collective and Smartvatten are going to focus our partnership in three primary areas. 1.) Education, sharing these important insights and topics with the world 2.) Host events, technology summits, and thought leadership discussions to help the industry navigate this topic area. 3.) Using the solution certification to match with potential partners, integrations, research, and more.

From Smartvatten:

"From my point of view it is very obvious that various companies within the real estate sector have a gap in their data when it comes to water consumption, since it is either of low quality or it is gathered on low frequency, let alone having insights in actual leaks. The great initiative that the Smart Building Collective is presenting to the market, actually doubles down on the matter. They have come across plenty of buildings which, after being assessed by them, currently have an actual gap in data on our end of the spectrum and have little knowledge on how to be most efficient on water consumption. Therefore, partnering up with them makes sense for all parties involved. It helps us create more awareness on water scarcity, it helps building owners fill that gap in data and knowledge and it shows that the Smart Building Collective actually is connecting the dots within the real estate industry." - Raymond Tiemen Director at Smartvatten
