Many experts believe that water will overtake energy as the resource of greatest concern to Californians in the coming years. We live in a state with a growing population, limited water reserves and unpredictable rainfall. Water use also has significant energy implications. The California State Water Project that is responsible for moving water from sources to customers is the single largest user of energy in the state. Additional energy is required to heat, cool, pump and treat water. Reducing water use through conservation can extend our limited supply of this resource and produce significant electricity and natural gas savings.
Our annual Water Showcase provides information on water-conserving strategies for building designers, managers and operators through presentations and tabletop displays. This event is organized by Northern California Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council, East Bay Municipal Utility District, and the PG&E Pacific Energy Center.
Companies and non-profits can showcase their water-related products and services as exhibitors at this year's Water Conservation Showcase. Exhibitors will be provided a table and exhibit space at the showcase in exchange for a donation to the Northern California Chapter of the US Green Building Council.
