BREEAM Major Water Leak Detection

Wat 03 Water leak detection and Prevention
No. Credits available: 1

The Aquitron AT-WM is a pulse water meter, leak monitoring system that has been specifically designed to help achieve the requirements of BREEAM 2011 (BRE Environmental Assessment Method).

The AT-WM system will allow designers, M&E contractors and developers to achieve the “Credit” available to reduce the impact of water leaks that may otherwise go undetected.

The system is designed to monitor water flowing through a pulse water meter. If the volume of water reaches the pre-set limit (customer adjustable) the system can isolate the mains water pipe, therefore limiting the amount of water and leak damage.

System features:

• Separate systems for installation at the site boundary or within the building
• Mains water pipes ranging from 22mm to 200mm
• Programmable for different flow (leakage) rates
• Two levels of monitoring (e.g. occupied and unoccupied building)
• Programmable time periods to determine alarm levels
• Automatic setting of alarm levels via a door entry or intruder alarm
• Meets BREEAM Wat 03 requirements

BREEAM PIR Automatic WC Water Shut-Off System

Wat 03 Water leak detection and Prevention
No. Credits available: 1

The Aquitron AT-PIR-SOV is a controller, PIR sensor and water solenoid valve system used to isolate the water supply to WC’s when they are not in use, thereby limiting the risk of water wastage and damage from minor water leaks.

The system comprises a main controller, ceiling mounted recessed or surface mounted PIR sensor and either a 15mm, 22mm, 28mm or 35mm solenoid valve. Up to 3 valves can be powered by the controller.

If no movement is detected within the user adjustable pre-selected time, the PIR sensor will activate the isolating solenoid valve.

• Automatic water shut-off when WC area/facility is not in use
• Reduces the risk of flooding due to accidental damage or vandalism
• Avoids water wastage if taps left running
• Ceiling or wall mounted PIR detects the presence of a person entering the area and opens the solenoid valves
• Male/female toilets with a shared water feed can be controlled with a master and slave PIR unit, allowing either area to be occupied and therefore operating the solenoid valves.
• Each solenoid valve is powered from the Master PIR controller using 6v dc valves.
• Auxiliary relay contacts are available to isolate mains and/or lighting supply in the same room.

BREEAM Refrigerant Gas Leak Detection

Pol 01 Impact of Refrigerant
No. Credits available: 1

A BREEAM credit may be achieved by installing an AquiTron refrigerant gas leak detection system within your building.

The AquiTron range of refrigerant gas leak detection systems has been designed to help achieve the requirements of BREEAM 2011 (BRE Environmental Assessment Method).

To conform to BREEAM 2011 requirements, the AquiTron AT-G-SENSE, AT-G-DETECT, AT-GU and AT-RLM2 permanently installed multi-point refrigerant leak detection systems utilise infra-red, semi-conductor or electro-chemical type of sensors to continuously monitor the atmosphere in the vicinity of refrigeration equipment.

The systems have been used on many completed BREEAM projects and achieved the credit. Most commonly associated with detection within building’s plant rooms, offices, computer rooms and the base of refrigerant pipework risers.

Can also be successfully used for external condensers and plant when sensors are installed within the compressor housing on chillers, air handling equipment or condensing units.

System features:

• Single and multi-point sensors
• Sensor suitable for positioning at low level or within the ceiling
• Sensor technologies used are on the approved BREEAM 2011 listing
