8 Potential Energy Savings and GHG Savings Associated with Water Efficiency Initiatives
ENERGY STAR Products 9 ENERGY STAR 2011 Annual Savings per ENERGY STAR  Appliance in an Office Environment Assumes one cycle per day for residential dishwashers.  Assumes commercial dishwashers clean two racks per day. A Federal office is open for 260 days a year. Energy and GHG savings come from water pumping, treatment, heating, and wastewater management.
WaterSense℠ Products 10 WaterSense 2011 Annual Savings per WaterSense℠  Appliance in an Office Environment Assumes 50 flushes per day, per toilet and urinal in an office environment. A faucet is used for 12.5 minutes per day. Showers run for 50 minutes per day. *Spray valves values come from assumptions from a Notice of Intent and are based upon 50 dishes a day. Energy and GHG savings come from water pumping, treatment, heating, and wastewater management.
WaterSense℠ Toilets 11 WaterSense 2011 Replacing a single traditional toilet with a WaterSense℠  (1.28 GPF) toilet would save 25,500 gallons per year = Enough water to fill 3 swimming pools

  2. NOTE: Potential WaterSense savings are shown from traditional fixtures, not their specifications!General Assumptions230 work days per employee with holidays (of a 260 work day year)Scope 2 is HeatingScope 3 is Water Transport and CleaningToilets (WaterSense)Traditional: 3.5 GPFWaterSense: 1.28 GPF50 Flushes per dayUrinals (WaterSense)Traditional: 1.0 GPFWaterSense: 0.5 GPF50 Flushes per dayFaucets (WaterSense)Traditional: 2.2 GPMWaterSense: 1.6 GPM10 minutes per day of usageShowers (WaterSense)Traditional: 2.5 GPMWaterSense: 2 GPM50 minutes of showers: 5 Minutes per Shower, 10 Showers per Day in an office per showerSpray Valves (WaterSense)Traditional: 1.6 GPMWaterSense: 0.5 GPM (Not listed but quote below shows up to 1.1 GPM less and 1.6-1.1=0.5)50 dishes washed for 26 seconds (FEMP guidance)“Based on current advertised product flow rates, these new valves can use between 0.35 and 1.1 gpm less than standard models” –WaterSense Notice of Intent on commercial spray valves

General Assumptions230 work daysScope 2 is HeatingScope 3 is Water Transport and CleaningToilets (WaterSense)Traditional: 3.5 GPFWaterSense: 1.28 GPF50 Flushes per dayUrinals (WaterSense)Traditional: 1.0 GPFWaterSense: 0.5 GPF50 Flushes per dayFaucets (WaterSense)Traditional: 2.2 GPMWaterSense: 1.6 GPM10 minutes per day of usageShowers (WaterSense)Traditional: 2.5 GPMWaterSense: 2 GPM50 minutes of showers: 5 Minutes per Shower, 10 Showers per Day in an office per shower
  4. Data is from multiple sources including Meyer et al., 1999; Aquacraft, 2003, ENERGY STAR calculators, Water Sense specifications, and EPAct standards. The assumptions for the percent of total water that is hot water is as follows:CW=15% Shower = 72% Faucet = 65% Bath = 90% DW = 100%Cannot see Bath because of the following reason: Bath water consumption is 1.2 gpcd for all scenarios. 90% of bath water use is hot water, therefore, hard to see component that is cold water (only 0.1 gpcd).EPAct Standards for Toilets, Showerheads, and FaucetsToilet--1.6 gallons per flush (gpf). The maximum water use allowed is 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) for gravity tanktype toilets, flushometer tank toilets, and electromechanical hydraulic toilets, if manufactured after January 1, 1994.Showerhead--2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) at 80 psi. The maximum water use allowed for any showerheads manufactured after January 1, 1994, shall be 2.5 gallons per minute (9.5 liters per minute) when measured at a flowing pressure of 80 pounds per square inch gage (552 kilopascals). Any such showerhead shall also meet the requirements of ASME/ANSI Standard A112.18.1M–1996, 7.4.4(a).Faucet -2.2 gallons per minute (gpm) at 60 psi. The maximum water use allowed for any of the following faucets manufactured after January 1, 1994, when measured at a flowing water pressure of 60 pounds per square inch (414 kilopascals), shall be as follows: Lavatory faucets: 2.2 gpm (8.3 L/min); Lavatory replacement aerators: 2.2 gpm (8.3 L/min); Kitchen faucets: 2.2 gpm (8.3 L/min); Kitchen replacement aerators: 2.2 gpm (8.3 L/min); Metering faucets: 0.25 gal/cycle (0.95 L/cycle)Water Sense 1.28 gpf Faucets – 1.5 gpmCW WF = 8.0
  5. The following assumptions were used to estimate hot water heating energy consumption:1. Percent of total water that is hot water for Clothes washers is 15%, for showers is 72%, for faucets is 65%, for baths is 90%, and for dishwashers is 100%. (source: Aquacraft, 2003) Water heater outlet temperature = 120 F (source: RESNET's 2006 Mortgage Industry National Home Energy Rating Standards, Page 3-15) Water heater inlet temperature = 58 F (source: ANSI/ASHRAE 118.2-1993, Appendix A) Energy Factor (i.e., minimum federal efficiency for new 40 gallon electric tank) = 0.917 (Federal Register, Part VIII, DOE, 10 CFR Part 430, page 4497) Recovery efficiency (i.e., combustion efficiency) = 1.00 (by definition for electric water heaters) Room air temperature = 70 F (ANSI/ASHRAE 118.2-1993, Appendix A)NOTE: These energy estimates (and all hot water energy estimates in this presentation) assume an electric hot water heater.
