Construction projects that meter the build and hand over a building with evidence.
During the build, temporary power, generators and site water are metered per feed and package. At handover, a commissioned measurement layer gives the owner a baseline instead of a design promise.
What construction teams are up against.
Water, energy, air and operations carry equal weight. Each one runs the same loop: monitor, measure, identify, act, verify.
Water: Site water
Dust suppression, concrete and welfare on one standpipe
Energy: Diesel generators
Sets idling through nights and weekends at low load
Air: Boundary dust
Breaches found by complaint, not by the record
Operations: Handover
Meters commissioned late, so operation starts with no baseline
Problem, solution, impact.
How Aqueduct resolves each problem for construction, and what changes when it does.
Dust suppression, concrete and welfare on one standpipe
A live water balance across meters and sub-meters localizes the loss, routes the fix and confirms it closed at the meter.
Loss found from the balance, not the bill, and every fix verified.
Sets idling through nights and weekends at low load
Weather-normalized baselines per building and asset show the waste in money; schedules and setpoints adjust where control is enabled.
Savings stated in money and confirmed at the meter, not estimated.
Breaches found by complaint, not by the record
Air quality per zone, overlaid with occupancy, with ventilation raised when it matters and verified back in range.
Targets held during occupied hours, with the energy cost counted.
Meters commissioned late, so operation starts with no baseline
Faults diagnosed in plain language and routed into your CMMS with the fix; early signs of failure schedule maintenance first.
Fewer reactive call-outs and closures confirmed by the equipment.
One incident, from first signal to verified fix.

Temporary supplies, generators and site water metered per feed.
A baseline per package and period.
Generator 3 idling through the weekend.
Alert to the site manager with a smaller set option.
Weekend running stopped. Fuel saving booked to the package.
Four connected products on one data layer.
Replace what should be replaced. Connect the rest.
- Manual generator logs
- Periodic dust surveys
- Retrofitted metering after handover
- BMS through BACnet and Modbus
- Project and cost reporting exports
- Owner CMMS at handover
Three equal ways in: keep your BMS, replace it, or build Aqueduct in at design stage.
The questions each seat asks first.
“Can we report site energy, water and carbon per project, not per company?”
“Will the building hold the rating it was sold on once it is occupied?”
“Does specifying this constrain the BMS or controls procurement?”
Standards and regulations we supply evidence for.
We supply the measured inputs. You run the program and file the report.

|---|---|---|
| ASHRAE 90.1 section 8.4.3 | Since the 2013 edition | Separate monitoring of HVAC, lighting and receptacle loads |
| England Approved Document F | From 15 June 2022 | A means of monitoring indoor air quality in new offices |

Ratings follow the building into operation.
EPBD in national law
New buildings across the EU will increasingly be judged on what they use, not what they were modeled to use.
Lettability tied to EPC B
A building handed over without system meters makes the improvement case harder to prove.

Common questions
Yes. Clip-on CT sensors, pulse counters and gateways go in without cutting into permanent systems, come out at demobilization and are redeployed on the next site, so the same monitoring kit serves project after project.
The building owner. Access for the contractor and the design team continues as agreed in the contract, so commissioning and defects-period data stay available to the people who need them after handover.
The first months of operation set the baseline an owner is judged against. Metering from commissioning onward shows whether systems run as designed, and the same data carries into operation when Aqueduct is built in from the start.
