<br />Submitted to: State Office of Water Conservation <br />Submitted by: Jean Loose and Charles Johnson <br /> <br />. 60 % efficiency of boiler or water heater divided by .60 = 966 <br />CCF per month x $.45/CCF=$434.7 x 12 months=$5216.40 <br />savings in energy related to saved water.. The average <br />cost of water for the agency is $1. 68848 per 1000 gallons. <br />$1.69 (rounded figure) X the 3622. 5 gallons of water that <br />could be saved daily = $6.12 savings per day or <br />$183.60/month and $2203.20 per year. <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />SUMMARY: The amount of water saved is 3622.5 gallons per <br />day, 1,304, 100 gallons per year. <br /> <br />Dollar savings in water is $2203.20 per year. <br /> <br />Dollar savings in energy is $5216.40 per year. <br /> <br />Thus, the total cost savings would be $7419.60 per year. The <br />December 1992 water bill for GJRC was $2191.96. The savings <br />using infrared faucets would be the equivalent of 3.4 months of <br />the agency's water bills. <br /> <br />According to our study of frequency of use of every <br />faucet in the agency, we would like to install 100 infrared <br />automatic faucets The savings in water and dollars could be as <br />much as THREE TIMES the above figures for several reasons: <br /> <br />1. Data was obtained only on the amount of water used for hand <br />washing by direct care staff. There are many other uses for <br />lavatories by direct care staff and clients, some of which require <br />more water and time than hand washing. Hand washing was <br />used because it was predictable and precise. <br /> <br />2. Calculations for the amount of water used for handwashing <br />did not include 93 other staff who have daily contact with clients <br />and wash hands before and after each contact with clients. <br /> <br />3. The flow rate per gallon will be less with infrared faucets than <br />the 2 1/2-3 GPM the current faucets use. <br /> <br />Page 5 <br />
