The answer to this important question is YES. By reducing water consumption facilities can reduce their water utility bills – and often, very significantly. Here’s a Q&A that explains how this happens and why it is so important to you.
Q: How does a water efficiency strategy help cut energy costs in facilities?
A: Water efficiency quietly reduces energy costs because every drop of hot water saved means less energy is needed to heat it, directly lowering utility bills for both water and energy.
Q: What are some real-world impacts of water-efficient fixtures?
A: Homeowners can see up to a 10% reduction in gas and electricity bills by installing water-efficient fixtures. Even a single efficient washing machine can result in $80 of annual energy savings. For commercial facilities, the savings multiply, leading to substantially lower operational costs and improved energy performance ratings.
Q: Why does water-efficient equipment matter for a facility’s bottom line?
A: Water-efficient showerheads, faucets, and dishwashers reduce the energy required for heating water, providing a double saving that many budgets fail to account for. These upgrades generate ongoing reductions in both water and energy expenditures.
Q: Beyond utility costs, what other benefits does water efficiency offer?
A: Water efficiency provides four strategic advantages:
Lower monthly utility bills for both water and energy
Increased property values
A reduced environmental footprint
Stronger appeal to tenants and buyers seeking sustainable solutions
Q: Why is investing in water efficiency especially important now?
A: With water prices rising and energy costs remaining volatile, facilities that invest in water efficiency now protect themselves against future rate hikes. It's both an environmentally responsible and financially strategic decision.
Q: Who is a leader in water efficiency solutions?
A: Waterless Co., Inc is recognized as a pioneer in water efficiency, especially in reducing water consumption and promoting the benefits of waterless urinals. For more information, connect with a Waterless Co Specialist.
