Water Evaluation and Monitoring

The Water Evaluation and Monitoring (WEM) tool is a methodology and tool for monitoring and evaluating water use in buildings. Data from utility and/or council accounts or logged water consumption data are entered into the tool to generate water use reports that can be used to evaluate and monitor water consumption in buildings.

The WEM supports effective water use reporting and monitoring in relation to water use benchmarks, targets, and previous consumption levels. It can also be used to analyze water consumption patterns to identify areas for improvement and evaluate the effectiveness of measures taken to improve water performance. The download includes:

• Water Evaluation and Monitoring (WEM) Excel tool.
• Water Evaluation and Monitoring (WEM) Presentation on how to use the tool.
• Water Evaluation and Monitoring (WEM) Presentations on water use in buildings.

Water Assessment in Buildings (WAB)

The Water Assessment in Buildings (WAB) tool is a methodology and tool for assessing water equipment and systems in buildings. Design appraisals or walk-through assessments of buildings are used to evaluate proposed or existing water equipment and systems in relation to best practice water criteria within the WAB.

The WAB supports effective assessments of water equipment systems to provide a clear understanding of this in relation to best practice sustainable building water performance. It can also be used to identify areas where water equipment and systems can be improved in order to improve water performance. The download includes:

• Water Assessment in Buildings (WAB) Excel tool.
• Water Assessment In Buildings (WAB) Manual on how to use the tool.
• Water Assessment In Buildings (WAB) Presentation on how to use the tool.
• Water Assessment in Buildings (WAM) Presentations on water use in buildings.

Water Use Modelling

The Water Use Modelling (WUM) tool is a methodology and tool for modeling water use in buildings. Data on water equipment, systems, and usage patterns are entered into the tool to model water consumption patterns in buildings and present this in figures and graphs.

The WUM supports effective modeling of water systems to provide a clear understanding of water consumption implications related to particular water use practices and water equipment and systems. It can also be used to carry out ‘what-if’ scenarios which support effective decision making on water use practices and procedures as well as on the selection and installation of equipment and systems. The download includes:

• Water Use Modelling (WUM) Excel tool.
• Water Use Modelling (WUM) Presentation on how to use the tool.
• Water Assessment in Buildings (WUM) Presentations on water use in buildings.
