Quensus empowers education, retail, and hospitality organisations to achieve smarter water management.
By combining automation, real-time insights, and sustainability tracking, our solutions drive measurable progress toward ESG and Net Zero targets.
Net Zero 2050 is the UK’s legally binding target to balance greenhouse gas emissions and help limit global warming. It is supported by interim goals, including a 68% reduction in emissions by 2030, and guided by national strategies such as the Net Zero Strategy and the Net Zero Growth Plan.
These outline decarbonisation pathways for sectors including energy, transport, buildings, land use and water.

Within sustainability, water use is a key focus area. In the UK, the water sector faces growing pressure from climate change, environmental targets, and rising consumer costs, alongside public criticism over leaks and sewage discharges. These factors are driving an industry-wide push for infrastructure upgrades.
In England and Wales, water companies operate under five-year Asset Management Plans (AMPs). The current AMP7 (2020–2025), set out a £51 billion investment programme for environmental protection, network resilience, customer service, and innovation. Leak detection and repair remain top priorities, with targets to cut leakage, reduce mains bursts, and lower water use.
Smart technologies are central to achieving these goals, therefore, demand for these innovations is expected to grow.

Understanding water use and wastage is essential to control costs, reduce risk, and meet sustainability goals. Traditional meters only provide incomplete, monthly snapshots, making it difficult to catch issues before they escalate.
Quensus smart meters deliver real-time insights across building zones, showing exactly where and how water is used. These insights are vital for organisations working toward sustainability targets or applying for funding tied to environmental performance.
With LeakNet and the FlowReporter App, water data is continuously collected and visualised through intuitive dashboards. Leaks, spikes, or anomalies are automatically flagged, removing the need for manual checks.
Automated shut-off during closed hours or abnormal flow events helps reduce maintenance callouts, minimise damage risk, and improve operational safety and efficiency.
With the UK’s deregulated water market you can become a licensed self-supplier, buying water wholesale and managing your own billing. Before making the switch, it's important to understand your building’s water profile.
Quensus helps you do this by providing a full water balance through submeters, allowing you to allowing you to audit consumption and build confidence in managing supply. FlowReporter amplifies administration and reporting, reducing compliance complexity.
Sustainability goals must be backed by evidence. Quensus tracks water usage reductions, leak prevention, and compliance to prove environmental impact.
Accurate, continuous water monitoring helps quantify the environmental impact of your operations, particularly indirect Scope 3 emissions linked to water procurement, treatment, and supply. By tracking these metrics in real time, Quensus supports sustainability reporting, enhances CSR performance, and provides clear evidence of progress toward Net Zero goals.
Whether you're pursuing ESG benchmarks or green funding, our solutions provide the data and documentation needed. This improves transparency, builds stakeholder confidence, and drives measurable change.
Water is often overlooked in carbon reduction, yet inefficient use, leaks, and outdated infrastructure waste energy and increase emissions. Quensus enables you to identify and eliminate water waste at the source, providing the tools and insights that support ESG reporting and emissions tracking.
Our solutions reduce operational spend, minimise environmental footprint, and generate performance evidence needed for green funding, sustainability-linked loans, and government-backed incentives. Whether you're aiming for BREEAM, or other sustainability certifications, Quensus strengthens your case helping you demonstrate genuine progress to stakeholders, auditors, and funding bodies alike.

Up to 7 credits for reducing water usage per person per day compared against a baseline performance. For example, use water-saving WCs, tap aerators, low-flow showers, waterless urinals, and greywater/rainwater for recycling non-potable water.
Our expertise in smart water metering and data analytics allows us to monitor and analyse water consumption patterns, providing valuable insights to identify water-saving opportunities and track progress towards reduction targets.
Installing our device on the main meter earns you 4 points.
Sub-metering building areas consuming 10% or more of the building's total water demand, or metering multi-tenant buildings per tenanted area, achieves an additional 2 credits.
Up to 4 credits (each) are available based on the water efficiency of the following assets to reduce overall water consumption in the building:
WAT02 - Water-efficient equipment: toilets
WAT03 - Water-efficient equipment: urinals
WAT04 - Water-efficient equipment: hand washing basins
WAT05 - Water-efficient equipment: showers
WAT06 - Water-efficient equipment: white goods
Our experience in specifying and installing water-efficient fixtures can help building owners select and implement the most appropriate solutions to achieve significant water savings.
Up to 4 credits for installing a robust leak detection system, which plays a vital role in conserving water resources. By promptly identifying and addressing leaks, buildings can significantly reduce water wastage, contributing to a more sustainable water footprint. 1 credit has traditionally been given for a leak detection system that can detect a major water leak on the mains water supply within the building and/or between the building and the utilities water meter.
Our advanced leak detection technology, including smart metering and real-time monitoring, can quickly identify and locate leaks, enabling prompt repairs and minimising water wastage, potentially enabling you to achieve the full 4 credits after a complete calendar year.
Up to 4 credits for proactive measures to prevent leaks. Proper installation and maintenance of flow control devices, whether in sanitary fittings or larger residential complexes, are essential for minimising water loss and ensuring the longevity of plumbing systems.
Our LeakNet system goes beyond traditional leak prevention methods. With AI-powered monitoring, real-time alerts, and automatic shut-off capabilities, LeakNet actively identifies and stops leaks before they cause significant damage or water wastage. This proactive approach aligns perfectly with the BREEAM focus on minimising water loss and ensuring the longevity of plumbing systems.
Up to 4 credits can be awarded depending on the extent and effectiveness of the isolation valve strategy within the building's water supply system, which allows controlled shut-off of specific sections of the water supply, enabling targeted maintenance or repairs without disrupting the entire system. 1 credit has traditionally been given for installing a flow control device to each WC area/facility so that water is only supplied when needed.
Our smart shut-off valves seamlessly integrate into any plumbing system, providing the isolation capabilities necessary for targeted maintenance and repairs.
This not only meets the traditional BREEAM requirement for isolation valves but also enhances it with intelligent control and automation.
By enabling quick and precise shut-off of specific sections, LeakNet minimises disruption and water wastage during maintenance activities, maximizing the potential for achieving up to 4 credits.
The automatic shut-off functionality also serves as an innovative flow control device, securing an additional credit for controlling water supply to WC areas.
Up to 4 credits for using alternative water sources and efficient water-using technologies. Rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and the use of water-efficient fixtures are examples of strategies that can substantially decrease reliance on mains water supply.

A comprehensive water strategy goes beyond individual measures by establishing a holistic approach to water management. It includes regular maintenance of water systems, water efficiency, water reuse, and leak detection. The strategy should also include a plan for monitoring and reporting water consumption ensuring optimal performance and longevity, as well as promoting awareness and behavioral changes among building occupants to foster a water-conscious culture.
Up to 8 credits are available depending on the comprehensiveness of the water strategy and the inclusion of specific elements such as:
A proactive maintenance policy for installed water systems
Targets for reducing water consumption
A plan for monitoring and reporting water consumption
A plan for engaging building occupants in water conservation efforts
Our holistic approach to water management and expertise in water efficiency, reuse, and leak detection can help building owners develop and implement comprehensive water strategies that achieve long-term sustainability and cost savings.
Every building’s risk profile and budget differ. Unlike one-size-fits-all systems, Quensus engineers a bespoke leak-detection solution around your insurer’s requirements and cost constraints - saving you thousands in wasted water and premiums. There is unlimited number of options, but we have simplified leak prevention into our four main tiers:
A combination of bronze, silver and gold will provide the most effective leak prevention system available.
Automatic Flow Monitoring with Smart Shutoff Valves on the boosted supply to each unit/apartment. The most effective solution post-handover over the lifetime of the building.
Automatic Flow Monitoring with Smart Shutoff Valves on the boosted supply to each floor (or each riser if plumbing is vertically fed). Ideal during construction because each floor can be isolated individually.
The absolute minimum you should be looking for is Automatic Flow Monitoring on the Mains Cold Water System and Boosted Cold Water System for the whole building. This is covered in the BREEAM WAT03 standard.
