Summary: Electromaim is revolutionizing sustainable energy in urban high-rise buildings by turning wasted water pressure into clean electricity. Traditional water distribution systems in tall buildings waste significant energy due to inefficient pressure management. Electromaim addresses this by replacing conventional pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) with micro hydro-generators, capturing energy from water flow.
The impact is impressive—on average, a single building can generate $390K in annual revenue while preventing 598 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. Targeting multi-tenant urban buildings with 30+ floors, Electromaim focuses on markets like the EU, Dubai, and NYC, with a total addressable market of 134 billion dollars.
The company stands out in the clean energy landscape by offering low unit costs, easy installation, and significant greenhouse gas reduction compared to competitors like InPipe Energy and Sunpower. Having already secured over $30K in grants and partnerships with institutions like SEE Institute, Electromaim continues to innovate with pilot installations and IP development underway.
