For our May webinar, our very own Stephanie Bennett (AEE Fundraiser Chair) along with Kellen Utecht will be presenting on water efficiency opportunities in and it's positive outcomes: water safety, energy efficiency, environmental impact, just to name a few. Please join us and invite a client or colleague.

This presentation will review real-world examples of operational changes resulting in immediate or long-term cost savings. Examples include:

Working with water treatment vendors to reduce chemical costs,
Employing operational techniques associated with cooling towers,
Making operational changes for steam production,
Capturing chiller efficiencies,
Identifying water performance issues,
Discussing the cost to treat steam generation and cooling water systems

You will learn

To define a water efficiency opportunity
Explain how a water management program can be used to capture efficiency gains in a building
Identify where there are potential opportunities for efficiency gains in a building water system
