Energy And Water Utilities' Unique Perspectives Uncover Joint Cost-Saving Solutions

#Energy In the past, I?ve written a lot about the inherent connection between energy and water use and the need for co-management of energy-water planning. Most of the energy we use requires copious amounts of water to produce, and most of the water we use requires a considerable amount of energy to treat and transport. Despite this inherent connection, it?s actually uncommon to see energy and water utilities collaborating to identify best practices to save energy and water and even lower costs. Think of it this way: If energy and water utilities worked together, their unique perspectives could uncover joint cost-saving solutions, customers would save more money and utilities could share data to better understand their holistic energy-water footprint.http://www.forbes.com/sites/edfenergyexchange/2013/10/30/energy-and-water-utilities-unique-perspectives-uncover-joint-cost-saving-solutions/ http://bit.ly/15KdByZ
