Energy/Water Conservation Potential

It’s a Choice.

We have the technology today to achieve net zero energy and water use and consumption. We have the tools right now to use existing technologies to improve functionality of new green development.

With vision, forethought and analysis, we can improve lives, future proof development, and help the environment. When we do this we save money immediately and over the life of the project.

How we get there...

Step 1 - Evaluate Alternatives' Performance Full Costs

What is first cost/life cycle costs/return on investments of current practice vs. alternatives?

How much electricity could be conserved, avoided, or generated onsite?

What is the range of values of the savings?

How sensitive are these results to different assumptions about energy cost, land cost, timing, changes in regulations, cost of money, etc.?

Step 2 - Create synergistic systems

What are some cost-effective ranges or performance that could be combined into systems that out-perform individual actions?

What is the quantity and value of potable water saved?

Any contribution to combined sewer overflow savings?

Are there incentives, financing, and grants options that might apply?
