Recovery more utility and energy cost

RBC Utilities offers a variety of products to help manage your utility cost recovery programs. We are committed to providing only state-of-the-art products to ensure your property maximizes its income potential. Therefore all of our submetering solutions are based on the Wellspring Wireless Aqura product line. The Aqura line of products are centered around the unique low cost of installation, highly reliable Zigbee technology.

Wellspring Wireless offers the nation's most complete line of water and energy sub-utility products for metering individual units in multi-tenant buildings, high-rises, and campus style communities. Wellspring’s two-way open protocol radio systems enable property owners and managers to measure each apartment’s electric, gas, boiler or chiller energy, water and domestic hot water energy consumption, thereby ensuring that residents pay only for what they use.

 

Aqura Submetering (Point Of Use Metering)

Do you own or manage an older property?

Finally you can easily recover the water and hot water energy cost. Wellspring's Aqura Submeter is the key component of a system that measures water and hot water energy. These meters, no bigger than your hand, are placed on every water inlet, both hot and cold, to the apartment. Behind the toilets, under the sinks, hidden behind the showerhead or at the hot water heater. Every day the collected consumption data is wirelessly transmitted to our data center where it bills can then be generated.

Conventional Pluse Meter

Traditional, time tested pulse output meters are used in buildings where a single water inlet to the unit is available. The Aqura Energy Monitor is connected to the meter head to collect the consumption data. The data is then seamlessly passed back to our data center for analysis and billing. This application can be used on new construction and in retrofit buildings.


Aqura Water Shut Off

Protect your building and your income with the Aqura Water Shut-off. This control exploits the 2-way feature of Wellspring's ZigBee radio open protocol, to drive a two position battery operated valve from a remote location. Communicating water shut-offs are used:

  • to curtail the flow of hot or cold water when water or boiler/chiller energy bills are not paid
  • to prevent a flood when a serious leak is detected
  • to limit the capacity of a wet heating or cooling system to save energy
  • to prevent the use of contaminated water during a terrorist attack.

Shut-off assembly fits inside a 3-1/2 inch wall cavity, atop a hot water heater or alongside a heating/cooling unit.


Energy Monitor

The Wellspring Energy Monitor records data from up to four conventional water, gas and electric meters fitted with an auxiliary contact closure device that intermittently closes a circuit after a specified volume of consumption. The monitor records each contact closure and maintains a count register of closure events. As with the Aqura Water and wet energy Submeter, data is passed to our data center. Energy Monitors also measure up to two temperatures and one fan motor electrical circuit, recording 'degree-minutes' of energy from baseboard radiation, fan coil units, cast iron radiators or hydronic heat pumps, whenever the fan is running, or the water is flowing.
