These best practices provide technical information to select the appropriate water meters on buildings that have been identified and to understand how data can be used and analyzed to improve water management. The guidance focuses on the installation of advanced meters and includes a process that directs agencies on how to prioritize their buildings for water meters. The process centers on metering water-intensive building types.
This technical brief provides additional energy efficiency measures that go beyond the current prescriptive commercial energy codes. It demonstrates relative savings for multiple measures and shows a base cost effective package by building type and climate zone. An advanced savings package is also shown. Potential building savings for the base package for different building types across climate zones range from 3.9% to 22% of building energy cost, while the advanced package building savings range from 8.4% to 44%. In addition to measure descriptions, this technical brief includes code language that can be adopted by local jurisdictions to implement these measures for new buildings.
