Full Description

The recent energy crisis in California required looking into a broad range of potential energy savings. Although recognized previously through the narrow perspective of hot water savings, the view on potential energy savings through water conservation widened to incorporate as applicable the energy consuming aspects of water supply pumping, treatment and distribution to customers along with wastewater treatment processes. This paper presents the basic considerations in quantification of energy savings through the potential gains of water conservation measures, including residential clothes washers, commercial clothes washers and commercial dishwashers. An overview of energy savings in light of other water conservation measures such as reductions in outdoor water use is discussed in a more general sense. This information is useful to technical professionals at utilities in assessing the broader scope of cost-benefit analyses of water conservation programs given the reductions in operations
