ABSTRACT
Water management is an important aspect of energy engineering. This entry addresses water-using equipment used primarily for household purposes, including faucets, showers, toilets, urinals, dishwashers, and clothes washers, and focuses on how this equipment can be optimized to save both water and energy. Technology retrofits and operation and maintenance changes are the main water and energy conservation methods discussed. Auditing to determine current consumption rates is also described for each technology.
