19.7% Reduction in Water Consumption
A commercial property installed a 4-inch AF valve to reduce water consumption and associated operating costs.
Following installation, water usage was analyzed using normalized billing data and a same-season, year-over-year comparison. The analysis measured a 19.7% reduction in water consumption, with peak monthly performance reaching 27.9%.
