ASK AN EXPERT

What is the best way for a facility manager to understand how water is consumed at their facility? How can a facility manager determine what might be necessary uses and where water is being wasted, for example through inefficiency or leaks?

In commercial real estate, water efficiency considerations naturally touch on the efficiency of fixtures such as toilets and faucets. What are other important, but perhaps less obvious, areas and systems facility managers should examine in pursuing water efficiency at their facilities?

Can you explain the concept of "net-zero water"? Is this a strategy available to only certain facility types? If not, how can facility managers move towards net-zero water at their facility?

Are there any common perceptions or practices in the commercial real estate industry that are needlessly hampering efforts towards greater water efficiency? If so, what are they and how can they be overcome?
