OFIS' SOLUTION - Drawing on the experience gained in many sites, OFIS can study building resource use for sites such as health facilities and propose optimization solutions which are compatible with controlled health risks:
- A structural system study and a hydraulic system performance assessment (flowrate and pressure measurements, overnight recordings and basic leak detection);
- Site use data analysis;
- A sanitary hot water network balancing study was also carried out in order to assess potential water savings as a result of improved flow distribution;
- OFIS defined an action plan with several water saving options, prioritized according to investment type and return time (Capex/Opex analysis).
