Empire State Building Improves Sustainability and Prevents Water Damage
The Empire State Building reduced its annual water consumption by 7.5 million gallons per year, saving over $100,000 per year.
Background
The Empire State Realty Trust is the owner of the Empire State Building, a part of its larger portfolio. ESRT is a leader in sustainability, healthy buildings, and indoor environmental quality, and is a leader in the implementation of cutting-edge technologies to meet its sustainability goals.
The Challenge
Empire State Realty Trust implemented Wint at the Empire State Building to achieve two objectives: Reduce the building’s environmental footprint by reducing water consumption and, its associated carbon emissions. Detect and limit water leaks before they can cause significant damage to the facility. The solution must provide a positive ROI
The Solution
To achieve its goals, Wint systems were deployed in multiple locations in the Empire State Building. Wint’s advanced AI and machine learning technologies monitor water flows and alert staff when anomalies are detected. When needed, Wint’s analysts help the Empire State Building’s facilities management team diagnose issues through their significant expertise.
