# Alert Labs > Commercial water intelligence: AI-powered leak detection, automatic water shut-off, real-time water-use monitoring, and smart HVAC analytics for large buildings and portfolios. Alert Labs helps facility managers, property managers, building engineers, sustainability directors, and insurance professionals prevent water damage, reduce water waste, and monitor HVAC performance across commercial, multifamily, industrial, institutional, and construction environments. The AlertAQ™ water intelligence platform turns sensor data into real-time alerts, analytics, and automated reports. Sensors connect through a cellular hub, so there is no building WiFi, no wired network, and nothing on your network for IT to secure. ## Core - [Alert Labs home](https://www.alertlabs.com/): What Alert Labs does: commercial water leak detection, shut-off, monitoring, and HVAC analytics. - [AlertAQ™ platform](https://www.alertlabs.com/platform/alert-aq): The enterprise water intelligence platform, with AI-driven leak detection and portfolio-wide monitoring. - [Contact / request a demo](https://www.alertlabs.com/company/contact): Book a tour of AlertAQ™ and talk to the team. ## Primary topics - [Commercial water leak detection](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-need/water-leak-detection): Detecting hidden leaks, moisture intrusion, pipe failures, and flood risk in commercial and multifamily buildings. - [Automated water shut-off valves](https://www.alertlabs.com/products/shuttie-automatic-water-shut-off-valve): Automatic and remote-controlled shut-off to isolate water during leaks or burst pipes. - [Water flow monitoring (Flowie O)](https://www.alertlabs.com/products/flowie-o-water-flow-sensor): Real-time water flow monitoring and anomaly detection by strapping a sensor to the water meter. - [Water use monitoring & analytics](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-need/water-use-monitoring): Consumption analysis and portfolio-level water-use insights to lower bills. - [Smart HVAC analytics](https://www.alertlabs.com/hvac/smart-hvac-monitoring): HVAC remote diagnostics, performance-degradation detection, installation verification, and contractor analytics. - [Construction site water monitoring](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-building/construction): Leak detection and early-stage building protection for jobsites and temporary water systems. - [Sustainability & ESG water management](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-need/sustainability): Water conservation, ESG reporting, carbon reduction, and utility optimization through water and equipment data. ## Building types and industries - [Multifamily and condominiums](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-building/multi-family) - [Commercial real estate](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-building/commercial-real-estate) - [Data centers](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-building/data-center-water-leak-detection) - [Healthcare](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-industry/healthcare) - [Retail and banking](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-industry/retail) - [Education](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-industry/education) - [Industrial and mixed-use](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-industry/industrial) - [Insurance](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-industry/insurance) ## Roles - [Building engineers](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-role/building-engineer-water-leak-detection) - [Facility managers](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-role/water-leak-detection-facility-management) - [Property managers](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-role/property-manager-water-leak-detection) - [Insurance professionals](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-role/iot-water-leak-detection-insurance) - [Sustainability leaders](https://www.alertlabs.com/solutions/by-role/sustainability-water-management) ## Evidence and educational resources - [Case studies](https://www.alertlabs.com/company/case-studies): Examples of water-loss reduction, operational outcomes, and insurance-aligned risk mitigation. - [Blog and learning center](https://www.alertlabs.com/company/blog): Articles on water risk, leak detection, building analytics, and best practices. ## Answers - [Answers hub](https://www.alertlabs.com/company/answers): Index of direct answers to the questions buyers ask about commercial water leak detection: cost, insurance, how it works, and what the data shows. - [Cost of a commercial water leak detection system](https://www.alertlabs.com/answers/how-much-does-commercial-water-leak-detection-cost): What a commercial water leak detection system costs, what drives the total, and what payback looks like. - [What the subscription fee buys](https://www.alertlabs.com/answers/what-does-the-subscription-fee-buy): The subscription buys the AlertAQ™ platform and the work it does, including continuous analysis of each sensor's data, alerts, dashboards, and automated reports, plus firmware updates and support.
