Water is generally overlooked as a source of savings for facilities. The cost of producing and delivering water continues to climb, making it ripe for savings opportunities under energy saving performance contracts. Prisons often have a relatively high usage per inmate. This presentation looks at a recent prison project where prioritizing water conservation resulted in water, sewer, energy and O&M savings, which helped fund significant capital improvements. Water meter data was used to identify a baseline utility profile and achieve substantial domestic water system improvements. Finally, the presentation discusses adopting utility monitoring programs after implementing water system improvements.
