7. Delivery Models and Configuration Options

Start small or go all in. Ekonod adapts to your ambition.

Delivery Models and Configuration Options


Every project is different. Some teams want to begin with the installation hub only. Others want the full bathroom plus hub solution from day one. Some want to start with system logic and design support before they commit to hardware.

Ekonod is built for all three paths.

1. Ekonod Premium


Full installation delivery with bathroom and hub

Ekonod Premium is the complete delivery model. The bathroom and the installation hub arrive as a single pre engineered, moisture protected and tested module.

On site the sequence becomes very simple

  • lift into place
  • connect mains
  • verify function

Benefits

  • maximum energy and CO₂ reduction
  • no circulation losses and very low hot water energy use
  • highest moisture safety thanks to factory sealed wet rooms
  • minimal trade overlap inside the apartment
  • fastest installation and commissioning
  • most ceiling height and shaft recovery
  • calm apartment as station flow for the whole build

Premium is the shortest path from design intent to real performance.

2. Ekonod Plus


Ekonod Plus Hub from Ekonod Bathroom from Any Source

Installation package only. You choose how the bathroom is built.

Ekonod Plus delivers the apartment level installation hub as a factory assembled and quality assured product. The bathroom itself can be

  • site built by your own contractors
  • supplied by your preferred bathroom pod partner
  • delivered under an existing framework agreement

The decentralised system is industrialised. The bathroom can follow your current procurement model.

You gain almost all systemic benefits of decentralisation

 

  • no VVC circulation loops and much shorter pipe runs
  • energy and CO₂ performance close to Premium
  • simplified commissioning with factory tested hubs
  • faults contained to one apartment
  • digital readiness through Matter and Modbus
  • predictable service and minimal variation

What is different compared to Premium

  • moisture safety inside the bathroom depends on your supplier or site team
  • more trades still meet inside the bathroom
  • slightly less ceiling height and shaft optimisation
  • not fully apartment as station but clearly faster and calmer than traditional projects

Ekonod Plus is the low barrier entry point. You keep your bathroom strategy but move the system into the future.

3. Ekonod Consulting and Design Support


Decentralised thinking before decentralised hardware.

For projects that are not ready to commit to modules yet, Ekonod offers consulting and design support.
We support you in

  • • early layout and system topology decisions
    • identifying where circulation loops and long risers create long term waste
    • modelling energy use and CO₂ for different design options
    • reducing late stage coordination issues between architecture and installations

You keep your existing installation set up, but the process becomes clearer and less risky.

Benefits

  • • fewer design conflicts and changes late in the project
    • better understanding of lifecycle cost and CO₂
    • stronger ESG logic for planning and financing
    • smoother path to Ekonod Plus or Premium in future projects

Consulting and design support transfer the logic of decentralisation into the project even before any Ekonod hardware is ordered.

Choose your level. The logic stays the same.


All three delivery paths are built on the same principles

  • Decentralise distribution and shorten runs
  • Remove circulation losses
  • Contain risk to each apartment
  • Enable digital and data driven operation

Whether you start with process support, with the hub only, or with the full bathroom plus hub system, each step moves your portfolio toward

  • higher efficiency
  • better comfort
  • lower CO₂
  • shorter build time
  • higher asset value
