A Roadmap to Operationalize the Water-Energy-Carbon Nexus for Homes

October 8, 2024

This paper provides a roadmap for action by focusing on implementation. Through our pilot project in Los Angeles, we have gathered and analyzed real-world data on how consumers use water and energy needed to heat the water, in their homes. We then retrofitted homes with appliances, fixtures and products that are designed to save water and energy and surveyed consumers to learn about their experiences. We also analyzed relevant policies and regulations to drive scalable improvement. Through the pilot project, we learned that we can drive down water and energy consumption significantly.
