In the age of smart buildings, security isn’t limited to access control or surveillance cameras. Water damage, system failures, and HVAC malfunctions can be just as devastating—and just as preventable. That’s where IoT integration plays a crucial role.
At Enolgas USA, we help property managers, engineers, and contractors enhance building
security with smart valve systems, remote shutoff actuators, and IoT-enabled plumbing
components that minimize risk and maximize peace of mind.
What Are IoT Devices in Plumbing and Building Systems?
IoT (Internet of Things) devices are smart components equipped with sensors, actuators, and connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, BACnet) that allow them to communicate data, receive commands, and automate responses in real time.
In plumbing and HVAC systems, this includes:
• Smart leak detection sensors
• Electric actuated shutoff valves
• Flow and pressure monitors
• Remote valve controllers
These devices can be integrated with building automation systems (BAS), mobile apps, or
cloud platforms to allow 24/7 oversight—even from offsite.
5 Ways IoT Enhances Building Safety and Security
1. Automatic Water Shutoff
IoT sensors detect leaks, pipe bursts, or abnormal flow patterns and immediately trigger
actuated valves to shut off the water—protecting properties from thousands in water damage.
2. Real-Time System Alerts
Get instant notifications to your phone, computer, or building control panel when sensors detect unusual temperature, flow, or pressure. This is ideal for remote property management or off-hours security monitoring.
3. Preventative Maintenance Data
IoT devices continuously log performance data that can be analyzed to detect wear, corrosion, or pending failures. This proactive insight allows for maintenance before costly emergencies arise.
4. Remote System Control
From anywhere in the world, building managers can open or close valves, shut off HVAC
zones, or override schedules—especially important during holidays, severe weather, or power failures.
5. Integration With Existing BAS Platforms
Enolgas actuators are BACnet and Modbus compatible, meaning they can connect to your
central automation system without expensive rewiring or reprogramming.
