  • Patent number: 11384906
    Abstract: Method for monitoring a water supply network (1) in an infrastructure object (2) having water pipes (3) and at least one measuring device (4) for monitoring the water supply network (1) that contains at least the following steps: a) determining at least one structure parameter (5) which characterizes at least one structure of the infrastructure object (2) or the water supply network (1); b) determining at least one water parameter (6) using the at least one measuring device (4), and c) determining at least one probability value (7) for water damage, wherein at least one structure parameter (5) and the at least one water parameter (6) are taken into consideration.

  • Publication number: 20210293654
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a water supply network (1) with a water distribution system (2), water channels (3) and a building's water connections (4) that includes at least the following steps: a) capturing at least one local water condition parameter in areas of a plurality of a building's water connections (4); b) capturing at least one central water condition parameter in at least one area of a water channel (3) or the water distribution device (2); c) comparing the water condition parameters with one another; and d) detecting at least one fault (5) with respect to at least one of the water channels (3) on the basis of the comparison according to step c).
