Monitor Flow and Power Across Critical Building Systems

Flow and electrical sensing solutions help deliver operational visibility for HVAC and electromechanical systems. Measure differential pressure across components and electrical current behavior in power distribution systems, providing near real-time data that can help facility teams identify performance changes that may impact comfort or efficiency.

When integrated with building controllers and automation platforms, flow and electrical sensors help support informed decision-making, preventive maintenance strategies and energy management programs.

Current sensing for equipment health and safety

Current sensors monitor electrical behavior in motors, distribution panels and battery systems. Fast-response measurement supports predictive maintenance and early fault detection.

  • Detects abnormal current draw and fault conditions
  • Enables integration of battery management systems
  • Tracks power consumption and load patterns

Differential pressure sensing for flow monitoring

Differential pressure sensors measure pressure drop across filters, coils, dampers and valves. These measurements indicate filter loading, flow restrictions and system balance.

  • Monitors filter loading and change requirements
  • Verifies HVAC and hydronic system operation
  • Confirms pump performance and flow balance
  • Integrates with building automation platforms

Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Building Sensors

Flow and electrical sensors connect to building controllers through BACnet, Modbus and analog outputs. This enables facility managers to access sensor data via centralized automation platforms and energy management systems. Integration supports automated alarms, data logging for trend analysis and control sequences based on sensor inputs. Operations teams can monitor multiple sensor points simultaneously and implement facility management strategies using near real-time data.

Current sensors monitor electrical behavior in motors and equipment to help identify performance degradation patterns. Abnormal current draw can indicate bearing wear, winding damage, or mechanical binding. Monitoring current signatures supports scheduled maintenance based on actual equipment condition rather than fixed intervals. Integration with building automation systems supports automated alerts and trend analysis for maintenance planning.

Flow and electrical sensors monitor systems such as HVAC air handlers, chilled water loops, electrical distribution panels, motor control centers and battery systems. Applications include:

 

  • Filter monitoring in air handling units
  • Pump performance verification
  • Building health monitoring
  • Circuit-level power tracking
