For plumbing contractors, water auditing is a powerful driver for creating new business, customer trust, and repeat clients. By assessing a facilities water use, contractors can leverage their product and estimating expertise to calculate for owners how much water, sewer, and hot water generation expenses they can expect to save. You will leave this seminar with all of the knowledge and tools necessary to perform your own water audits. This seminar will teach you how to audit a facility, estimate its water (and associated sewer and hot water fuel) savings, utilizing a cutting-edge payback estimating spreadsheet, and make the sale to building owners in a final water audit report. It will show you what building types, systems, and fixtures have better payback periods as well as which ones dont and other key indicators to successful jobs.
