Excessive water use is often overlooked by building owners and managers as a way to reduce the amount of money they spend on utilities. However, there are several different ways that you can encourage your company to "go green" and reduce water consumption.
- Replace existing toilets and urinals with high efficient options. This can save up to 12,000 gallons of water annually per toilet!
- Install automatic flush valves and water reducing aerators on faucets.
- Consider installing a rainwater harvesting or greywater recycling system for lawn and plant irrigation.
- Keep an eye out for running toilets & dripping faucets.
- Consider installing air-cooled ice machines instead of water-cooled ice machines.
- Sweep sidewalks and walkways instead of hosing them down.
- Run your break room dishwasher only when it is full.
