Water and Gas Usage Sensors
Sub-metering, leak and anomaly detection, and usage benchmarking.
Why sub-meter water and gas?
Water and gas sub-meters show where and when each resource is used. Continuous data exposes leaks, stuck valves, after-hours use and failing equipment, and lets you benchmark sites. Typical savings are around 5% of metered usage, with leak detection preventing much larger losses. In the Nevada desert, every gallon counts.
What is Water & Gas Usage Sensors?
Monthly utility bills hide problems for weeks. A running irrigation valve or a gas leak at a kitchen line can waste thousands before anyone notices.
We install sensors and meters on key lines and connect them to the same dashboard as your electricity data.
How does it lower your bill?
- Leak and anomaly alerts in near real time.
- Benchmarking across sites and departments.
- Gas savings reduce CO2 at 0.0053 metric tons per therm (EPA).
- Supports water-conservation goals and reporting.
Typical savings
Typically around 5% of metered gas and water usage (typical, varies by facility).
Typical, varies by facility. Confirmed through an on-site audit and metered M&V.
Ideal facilities
- Hotels, casinos and restaurants
- Schools and campuses
- Food processing
- Multi-site retail
Utility capital pays for part of the upgrade
Water and gas metering is usually justified on operational savings and conservation goals; gas utility programs may apply.
- We identify every eligible NV Energy prescriptive and custom incentive.
- We stack lighting with controls to raise the incentive 20–50%.
- We prepare and submit the application, then verify savings under IPMVP.
Measured under IPMVP, monitored 24/7/365
We follow the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). Before work starts we set a metered or engineering baseline. After installation we measure the same loads and adjust for weather, occupancy and operating hours. The difference is your verified savings, and it is reported in kWh, kW and dollars.

Frequently asked questions
Can you detect leaks automatically?
Yes. Alerts trigger when flow patterns look abnormal, such as continuous overnight flow.
Do sensors require cutting pipes?
It depends on the meter type. Some options clamp on; others are inline. We recommend the right approach per line.
How are savings calculated?
Savings % × annual usage, priced at your gas and water rates. CO2 uses EPA's 0.0053 t per therm.
Can water data join our energy dashboard?
Yes. Everything reports to one view and to VEM.
