Universities, colleges and research campuses run through construction, renovation and long vacancy windows, often in the same year. A heating pipe failure during winter break can run undetected for weeks. Eddy's 24/7 monitoring center calls campus security and facilities the moment a sensor fires, working through the escalation protocol.
Trusted across the platform
Active devices, prevented damage and claims-affecting coverage, audited every year against the loss runs.
Tier 01
High-density plumbing, heavy fixture use and constant turnover. Suite and common-area sensors with automatic shutoff.
Tier 02
Water damages equipment, collections and research materials. Environmental sensors with instant escalation to facilities and risk.
Tier 03
Concealed pipe infrastructure with limited visual access. Flow monitoring in concealed spaces with remote alerting.
Tier 04
Weeks of undetected flow during academic breaks. 24/7 monitoring with automatic shutoff at the building or zone level.

Weeks
A pipe failure at the start of winter break can run undetected for days, not hours. Winter, spring and summer sessions multiply unattended hours across academic buildings, residence halls and reading periods.
Eddy's monitoring center stays staffed when the campus is empty. Operators escalate to campus security and facilities per the runbook, and automatic shutoff isolates the zone before damage spreads.
Research spaces, server rooms and library archives pack high-value exposure into compact footprints. The cost of a single event is rarely just the floor and the drywall. Eddy deploys sensors at the failure points that matter and the monitoring center routes alerts directly to the people responsible for the asset.
Sensors under precision cooling units and at chilled-water supply and return connections.
Humidity and temperature alongside water-presence detection at DI lines, autoclave drains and reagent storage.
Sensors at every junction and riser in utility tunnels and behind-wall risers where inspection is limited.
Eddy installs during construction or renovation and the same hardware stays with the building for the lifetime of the asset. Temporary fit-out coverage carries forward into permanent operations without a second install.

Coverage map
Three layers, one solution. Turn the building to see where sensors, meters and valves sit, then run a leak through the system, from the first drop to the monitoring center's response.
Occupied building · Business hours
Drag to turn the building. Select a label, or run a leak through the system.
The system
Sensors sit where leaks start and meters watch the flow. Valves close on the rules you set, and a 24/7 monitoring center follows each alert until your team has eyes on it.

Sensors sit where leaks start, and meters watch the flow for the leaks no sensor can reach.

Point-of-leak
Flow-based
Eddy detects water through two layers running in parallel. Point-of-leak sensors sit where leaks happen: common areas and mechanical rooms (including elevator pits), inside suites at high-risk appliances, and behind walls at the risers that hide damage until cascade. Flow-based detection runs continuously at meters across the building, flagging continuous low flow, continuous use and extreme use against thresholds learned from your building's baseline.
Control
Valves close on the rules you set, automatically on a threshold or remotely from the dashboard.
4 close-ups · select one to zoom in
Detection without action is just an alert. Every sensor or meter event can trigger a valve, automatically on threshold or remotely from the dashboard. Eddy IQ is the all-in-one meter and valve for ¾"–1" lines. Eddy Link drives shutoff valves up to 18" for everything larger, provisioned and configured by Eddy.
Respond
Alerts go through Eddy's cloud to a 24/7 monitoring center, and an operator calls your team until someone has eyes on the water.

Automatic shutoff is configured per building. Some sites use operator-coordinated isolation instead.
Eddy's 24/7 monitoring center confirms every alert, escalates per your contact list and stays on the line until the water is off and the on-site team has eyes on it.
The system
Sensors cover risers, HVAC sources and active work zones before the walls close. Meters watch the domestic main and site water, and the monitoring center is on the line from day one.

Point-of-leak
Flow-based
The best time to place a sensor behind a wall is before the wall closes. Eddy goes in during construction to install the same operational-grade detection your building will run on for the next decade: sensors at common areas and mechanical rooms, concealed sensors at risers and HVAC sources you'll never be able to retrofit this easily again, plus construction-specific coverage at active high-risk zones, ambient climate monitoring during temperature and humidity swings, and optional fire main flow monitoring for unintended sprinkler discharge.
Control
Valves close on the lines most likely to fail, and schedule mode shuts the main when the crew leaves.
5 close-ups · select one to zoom in
Automatic shutoff on the lines most likely to fail during construction: domestic main, temporary water supply, hydronic make-up. Schedule mode closes the valve when the trades leave and opens it when work resumes. A daily after-hours guardrail aimed at the 2 AM peak when most leaks happen and the site is empty.
Respond
The monitoring center is on the line from the first valve install and stays on through occupancy.

Shutoff rules are set per project, per zone and per time of day.
Eddy's monitoring center is on the line from the first valve install. Every alert is confirmed by a trained operator and coordinated live with the superintendent, not left on voicemail. When the building reaches occupancy, the service continues with the same team. No handoff to figure out, no system to redeploy.

One project from this asset class. More are added as portfolios mature on Eddy.
Across the Luskin Conference Center, Weyburn Housing and the CHS Medical Facility, UCLA deployed Eddy during construction and continued through operations. Sensors detect weather flooding in electrical rooms, monitor roof drains and shut off water automatically during low-occupancy periods.
