Selwood Housing was finding the traditional manual approach for monthly temperature checks cumbersome and administration heavy, using high manpower to gain limited asset understanding. On switching to GUARDIAN® the phase one results were immediate:
• 75% reduction in flushing requirement and associated water waste
• Numerous potential scald risks, due to failing TMVs, identified via alerts received
When implemented across phase two, a further 21 facilities, the results included saving:
• 28 days of manpower
• 11 tonnes of associated CO2 (equivalent to 66 trees)
• 240m3 water (3200 domestic baths)
• 4900 kWh energy
“We are now only flushing those assets that are required, reducing time that technicians open outlets. The data gives us a better understanding of our TMV performance and whether there is a scalding risk so we are able to take relevant action. It now has the full support of our team and executive board, and we look forward to rolling it out across the rest of our properties.”
