A powerful benchmark for water efficiency
Smartvatten Index is an advanced benchmarking service that combines water consumption data and leak performance into one clear efficiency score.
Understand performance beyond raw consumption data
Property owners often struggle to evaluate water efficiency across buildings. Consumption figures alone provide limited insight without context, benchmarks, and risk indicators such as leaks. Smartvatten Index provides a holistic performance indicator that combines water usage, leak data, and property characteristics into a single score. This enables organizations to compare properties, identify inefficiencies, and prioritize improvements across portfolios.
