Water is an essential resource that is frequently inadequately monitored in commercial, residential, and institutional facilities. Understanding where and how water is used or wasted is critical to managing costs, improving efficiency, and meeting sustainability goals.

At BES, our water audits go beyond routine checks, delivering a detailed evaluation of all water-consuming systems to:

• uncover inefficiencies,

• prevent costly leaks, and

• support your sustainability goals.

With a focus on performance, compliance, and conservation, our audits help you gain control over water use and drive long-term savings.

A water audit is a systematic review of water use across a building or facility. It examines how water is supplied, consumed, and wasted, identifying inefficiencies that often go undetected in daily operations. The audit includes analysis of:

• plumbing fixtures,

• irrigation systems,

• appliances & specialty equipment,

• sub-metering & monitoring tools,

• and cooling towers to uncover opportunities for conservation.

Through meter analysis, leak detection, and performance evaluation, the audit reveals where water is being lost or overused. The result is a set of targeted, cost-effective recommendations that help organizations:

• save money,

• reduce environmental impact,

• and comply with regulatory standards.

WHY DO WATER AUDITS MATTER?

Water audits are a valuable part of any building performance strategy and provide several key benefits:

• Recognize shortcomings like leaks, old equipment, and over-irrigation.

• Reduce operating costs through targeted repairs and fixture upgrades.

• Uncover issues that impact system reliability and tenant comfort.

• Support green building certifications and ESG reporting.

• Extend the life of mechanical and plumbing infrastructure.

• Help meet evolving regulations and water efficiency standards.

When integrated proactively, water audits improve building performance, guide long-term capital planning, and support sustainability commitments.

Historical Data Review

We analyze your water bills, submeter data, and building occupancy trends to identify abnormal usage patterns and baseline consumption.

On-Site Assessment

Every water-utilizing system undergoes inspection, comprising plumbing fixtures, HVAC systems, cooling towers, irrigation, and specialized equipment.

Leak Detection

Using submetering and real-time monitoring tools, we detect hidden leaks early to prevent water loss and property damage.

Efficiency Analysis

We evaluate fixture performance and identify areas where upgrading to high-efficiency equipment, meters and controls can reduce consumption.
