Water and energy management are often separated when addressing resource conservation and system efficiencies. However, energy usage is closely linked to water usage in buildings and other applications in what is commonly known as the water-energy nexus. This seminar presents connections between water and energy management, demonstrating how conserving energy usage can reduce and control water consumption. Collected data will demonstrate that the connection between water and energy is more than a correlation. Case studies will highlight design approaches and operations procedures that strategically manage water and energy consumption as part of a facility resource management plan.
