Denver Water selected a team led by Brendle Group to conduct indoor and outdoor water use assessments and identify conservation opportunities in over 200 schools in Colorado’s Denver and Jefferson County public schools.  Focused on indoor end-use fixtures and process water use as well as outdoor irrigation uses, the project aimed to identify significant water and cost savings through fixture and equipment retrofits.

As population grows and the climate changes, governments, businesses, and organizations are seeking ways to use water more efficiently. Brendle Group conducts assessments of water use in existing applications, develops water footprints, and identifies opportunities for water conservation in end use fixtures and process water applications.  Beyond water savings, Brendle Group helps our clients calculate costs, savings, and payback for retrofits to increase water efficiency. 

From water conservation plans to industry-level initiatives, Brendle Group also helps clients develop successful tools and programs for water conservation, from education initiatives and best practices to benchmarking water use across various sectors. Finally, Brendle Group is helping clients understand the links between water, energy, and climate change by calculating the energy embodied in the treatment, conveyance, use, and disposal of water and helping to manage long-term risks.
