Harnessing the water in your pipes to help save our planet.
Using In-Pipe Hydro-generators to Meet Our Climate Goals
As we began researching, and found that roughly 80% of NYC and DC building owners are currently scrambling for energy efficient solutions or settling for unprofitable ones, many of whom were still trying to recover from the enormous revenue loss caused by the unprecedented number of vacancies during Covid.
Seeing that building owners were scrambling to meet energy efficiency standards, and find alternative revenue streams, we created of a solution that could hit two birds with one stone.
A solution that helps building owners, managers, and tenants save money while allowing them to align to building regulations surrounding carbon emissions and ESG ratings.
That solution?
Electromaim.
Our Goals
With the global population projected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, rapid urbanization is driving the need for expanded infrastructure, improved energy efficiency, and inclusive growth.
Cities currently account for two-thirds of global energy consumption and a staggering 75% of anthropogenic carbon emissions. Data shows that many urban buildings are lagging behind in terms of energy efficiency. In New York City alone, 44% of buildings have received D ratings for energy performance, highlighting the urgent need for improvements.
By prioritizing energy-efficient measures, we can reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and create more environmentally friendly cities. However, one of if not the biggest stumbling block to adoption of these technologies is profitability.
Our solutions, when installed in tall buildings in urban areas, can create immense revenues for building owners, making environmentally sensible urban planning more possible than ever before.
Electromaim is Challenging the Current State of Hydropower
Hydropower is now almost exclusively used in large bodies of waters owned by states or nations, or in rivers on private or municipal properties.
Yet, while every minute water gushes under the streets of our cities and into the pipes of tall buildings at extremely-high pressures, there are almost no hydropower installations in cities.
Electromaim will replace Pressure Reducing Valves on every floor of a building, turning wasted energy into electricity. So far this use case has not been widely or effectively explored.
