46.51% Reduction in Water Consumption
A commercial property installed a 4-inch AF valve to reduce water consumption and associated water and sewer costs.
Following installation, water usage was measured against an 11-cycle pre-installation baseline and three post-installation billing cycles. The analysis measured a 46.51% reduction in water consumption, equivalent to 704,190 gallons saved during the 92-day measurement period.

Measured Results
During the 92-day post-installation measurement period, average daily water consumption decreased from approximately 16,459 gallons per day to 8,804 gallons per day.
That represents a reduction of approximately 7,655 gallons per day and 704,190 gallons over the measurement period.
Individual post-installation billing cycles showed reductions of 47.08%, 46.87%, and 45.81%.
Based on measured performance, the results annualize to approximately:
2.79 million gallons of water saved
$8,252 in annual operating savings
$688 in monthly savings
Project Details
Property: Confidential
Property Type: Commercial
Valve Size: 4-inch
Installation: February 18, 2025
Baseline: 11 billing cycles / 338 days
Post-Installation Measurement: 3 billing cycles / 92 days
Methodology: IPMVP Option C / Whole Facility
The analysis used actual utility billing data, normalized billing periods, and rate-aligned savings calculations to evaluate performance before and after installation.
Return on Investment
With an initial valve investment of $5,399, measured performance resulted in an estimated 7.85-month simple payback.
Based on the report's stated assumptions, projected cumulative ROI reaches approximately 342.9% over three years and 601.1% over five years.
