Hot Water System—Updates, Reports and Alerts
SAGE® keeps you fully informed, 24 hours a day by providing regular updates, precise documentation, custom-filtered reports, and real-time alerts to notify you immediately of any problems that arise.
SAGE® Dashboard
The dashboard gives you a powerful decision-making tool by providing convenient access to vital, real-time data from multiple areas.
DOCUMENTATION & RECORDKEEPING
Establish documentation and maintain records.
ASHRAE Standard 188-2015
CONTROL LIMITS
Establish limits within which a chemical or physical parameter must be monitored and maintained.
ASHRAE Standard 188-2015
MONITORING
Establish a system for monitoring the parameters associated with the control limits established in 6.1.3.

Hot Water Report
Provides a complete overview summary of digital recirculation valve and hot water system performance over the selected time period.
SAGE® is an essential component of Armada℠—a total, state-of-the-art hot water system engineered to deliver a superior level of user safety, infection control and compliance, from mechanical room to the point of use.
Standards of Care
A Standard of Care is defined as acknowledged applicable laws, standards and guidelines.
OSHA (1998), Joint Commission Environment of Care (2001), ASHRAE Guideline 12-2000, ASHRAE Standard 188-2015 and VA Directive 1061 (2014) are Standards of Care which include critical recommendations for establishing and monitoring hot water system temperature control limits.
Reducing the Risk
Following a Standard of Care can minimize the risk of scald injury, Legionella-related illness and the associated litigation.
“Former guests of the Las Vegas Aria Resort & Casino can’t seek punitive damages in a case alleging they contracted Legionnaires’ disease from the hotel’s water system, because management took adequate water safety steps, a Nevada federal judge ruled Monday.” (Law 360 Legal News Service, 2015.)
“In 2014 ASHRAE came out with consensus guidelines, it’s actually a standard that is directed at primary prevention of Legionella growth and transmission in building water-systems. It calls for building-owners and managers to assess the water systems in their building, figure out where there are vulnerabilities, and come up with plans to monitor those.” (Laura Cooley, M.D., M.P.H. medical epidemiologist, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
