1 Water Conservation Goals 1. Reduce water loss. 2. Minimize outdoor water use and waste. 3. Maximize in-house efficiency. 4. Adjust management practices to minimize water use Water Management, Inc. 1

2 First Step Conduct a Water Assessment and Generate a Water Balance Water Audit Phase 1. Where does water go? 2. How much water? 3. Look at all areas of water consumption 4. Create water balance 5. Develop strong M&V Protocol 2017 Water Management, Inc. 2

3 Water Conservation Measures (WCM S) Areas where equipment or procedures can be changed or upgraded to provided long term water /energy savings are identified as Water Conservation Measures (WCM s). We classify potential WCM s into two broad categories: Domestic Non-Domestic 2017 Water Management, Inc. 3

5 APPROACH Proven Methodology During an on site audit we enter 5% to 10% of all guestrooms/resident units to measure fixture flow volume and record detailed information of each fixture. Additionally, fixtures in over 95% of all public and employee areas are assessed for operational performance and all other water using equipment is evaluated. This approach enables Water Management to apply actual flow rates of a representative sample size across similar fixtures within a facility. This data is then used to assess water usage throughout the facility enabling us to recommend practical and cost effective options for reducing consumption Water Management, Inc. 5

6 EXPERIENCE What Have We Learned Water and Energy are Interdependent. Water is local. Prices vary widely throughout the US and are rising faster than any other utility. ROI of 100% or better are frequently available. Water enhancements can improve customer satisfaction. The bottom line of Green is Black Water Management, Inc. 6
