Prioritizing water efficiency and reducing waste generation are necessary responses to the risks of climate change. The efficient use of water can save both money and energy while improving resilience and reducing waste can also save energy. DOE is working to bring organizations together to discuss and demonstrate successful approaches to conserving water and reducing waste in buildings, plants, and multifamily housing across the country.
