New Report Shows One Billion Gallons Saved Through Water Sustainability Program

DALLAS - June 16, 2015 - PRLog -- A recent study of 20 financial institutions, healthcare facilities, and retail centers participating in a customized water sustainability program reveals a cumulative one billion gallons of water saved. Each of the facilities in the study is a customer of Weathermatic’s Sustainability Services, the newest division of Dallas-based Weathermatic, the global leading provider of smart irrigation technology and services.

To achieve such dramatic water savings averaging 50% in gallons and 43% in dollars, a Weathermatic sustainability consultant works with each client to create a customized water reduction goal and strategy. Certified irrigation professionals inspect each client’s existing irrigation system and install a Watersense-labeled SmartLine irrigation controller with SLW weather station. Connecting the upgraded system to the SmartLink Wireless Landscape Network allows Weathermatic analysts to monitor each system around the clock and collaborate directly with the property managers and landscape service providers.

Prior to launching a customized sustainability program, the Weathermatic Sustainability Services team determines a benchmark water usage amount based on each property’s historic water bills and local weather data. Analysts track water usage, programming changes, and repair issues on a daily basis, using reports generated by the SmartLink software application. To determine cumulative water savings for the study, the analyst team measured daily usage reports over 12 – 36 months against benchmark data for 20 property owners selected from around the United States.

Upgraded technology, professional programming, optimized watering times, and around the clock system monitoring all work together to minimize irrigation water waste and guarantee water restriction compliance while improving the health and beauty of each facility’s landscape.
