Abstract: The invention relates to a urinal system (10), a water consumer system having such a urinal system, and a method for operating a urinal system.

Abstract: A water consumer system comprising a water consumer that comprises a water receptacle, the water consumer system further comprising a fluid inlet with an inlet valve, a fluid outlet, at least one HF motion sensor for detecting fluid motion provided on the water receptacle and/or at the fluid outlet and a water consumer controller coupled with the HF motion sensor and the inlet valve, wherein the water consumer controller comprises a data processing system, which is arranged to Retrieve or receive data captured by the HF motion sensor, to evaluate the data arithmetically and, based on the evaluated data, to detect one of the following malfunctions or initiate an action, in order to prevent one out of the variety of the following malfunctions, such as that the outlet is obstructed, there is a pressure fluctuation in a wastewater system, the fluid inlet is malfunctioning, etc.

Abstract: A building facility water management method and system for controlling at least one operational parameter associated with a volume of water used by a water control device during a device operation of the water control device in a building facility is provided. The method and system allows for obtaining a water operation value associated with a volume of water for the water control device during the device operation; determining whether the water operation value is outside of a defined threshold associated with the device operation; upon a determination that the water operation value is outside of the defined threshold, adjusting an operational parameter associated with the water control device during the device operation to enable the water control device to be effectively operated.

Abstract: A maintenance management system is disclosed. The system includes a processing device, a plurality of components in communication with the processing device, each component having a location associated with the component and one or more sensors for capturing usage data associated with the component, and user devices in communication with the processing device. Usage data of components is communicated to the processing device. The processing device determines from the usage data whether any of the components requires maintenance. The location of each respective component requiring maintenance is communicated to at least one of the one or more user devices from the processing device.
