KEYNOTE: ClimateTech and the Future of the Planet 🌳
summary
Conservation Labs converts pipe sound into per-fixture water flow and leak detections using a single acoustic sensor and machine learning, proving an R² of 0.98 in initial tests and shipping ~5,000 sensors last year. The H2O product retails at $129 (large buildings use ~200 sensors, ~$30k install), shows up to 36% water savings in some multifamily installs, and runs 11 models per second on AWS; current training throughput is ~15 sensors/day with a KPI target of 50 sensors a day to scale to the planned 30,000 sensors annual sales.
