UCLA protects student housing, conferences and a medical facility on one Eddy program.
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.
- Reduce water claim frequency
- Document alert response performance
- Standardize 24/7 monitoring response
The challenge
UCLA needed a proactive way to protect a diverse portfolio of campus buildings, from student housing and conference centers to a major medical research facility, against water damage, without disrupting ongoing operations or research activities.
Aging infrastructure, extended vacancy periods and high-value research environments compounded the risk profile.
The solution
Eddy deployed a comprehensive building-wide monitoring and automation system across multiple UCLA buildings. Wireless LoRaWAN sensors cover mechanical rooms, electrical rooms and high-risk zones. Smart in-line meters provide 24/7 monitoring of water usage with the ability to remotely shut off water at the first sign of abnormality.
During non-occupancy periods, the system automatically detects even minimal water flow and shuts it off. At Luskin and Weyburn, sensors deployed in electrical rooms detect weather-related flooding. At CHS, sensors monitor roof trough drains, helping UCLA delay a major roof replacement until funding was available.
Coverage
Monitored high-risk areas
- Luskin Conference Center mechanical rooms
- Weyburn Housing electrical rooms
- CHS Medical Facility roof trough drains
- Mechanical and electrical rooms
- High-risk zones during low-occupancy periods
Functionality
- LoRaWAN connectivity penetrates concrete walls and mechanical shafts without Wi-Fi dependency
- 3-in-1 sensors detect water, temperature and humidity for cold-chain and lab environments
- Multi-property operator dashboard with full portfolio visibility across the campus
- Timestamped, located incident logs as GLP-compatible documentation
- Tenant-specific escalation workflows for research, facilities and property management
Outcome
A single deployment pattern protects student housing, hospitality and life-sciences environments under one operator dashboard, with the documentation life-sciences compliance teams require.
