Fixture-Level HPWH Performance Monitoring Across Four Buildings
A major California utility provider needed reliable, real-time performance data from heat pump water heaters at Mary's Village — a rehabilitation center with no existing monitoring infrastructure. BluCORE and BluNODE delivered fixture-level visibility across all four buildings.
What This Project Demonstrated
No Infrastructure, No Visibility — and a Utility Program That Needed Both
A major California utility provider needed reliable, real-time performance data from heat pump water heaters across Mary's Village — a four-building rehabilitation center in San Bernardino. The facility had no existing monitoring infrastructure, meaning there was no visibility into actual water usage, outlet temperatures, or system performance.
Without that data, validating energy savings and making informed decisions about HPWH deployments across the utility's portfolio was guesswork at best.
BluCORE and BluNODE Deployed Across All Four Buildings
BluSENSE deployed BluCORE™ (v1) as the central intelligence hub and BluNODE™ across all four buildings to capture high-resolution, fixture-level data on water usage and temperature at every outlet.
BluCORE processed and aggregated data from each BluNODE locally, while LoRaWAN connectivity provided continuous, real-time monitoring across the facility — without relying on cloud infrastructure or the facility's existing network.
