Outdoor Water Management

• Landscape is an important part of property valuation

• 58% of Urban Water goes to landscapes

• Landscape irrigation is un-managed

• 30-300% water waste is occurring

• Unleashing destruction: “hidden” ongoing costs to property

– 5-10x water waste costs

RESULTS

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

Energy Services Company City-Wide Deployment

• City wanted more Energy Conservation Measures than could be reasonably cost justified

• Key upgrades to lighting and mechanical infrastructure could not be included

• ESCO needed to find project with fast high-value payback

• Deployed 44 WeatherTRAK controllers to parks, baseball fields and City buildings

• Achieved central control via wireless Internet with no phone lines, RF networks or repeaters

• Installed master valves, flow sensors and rain sensors

• ESCO was able to expand scope of Phase II project• Installation completed summer 2008• Annual water savings = 40%

RESULTS

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

AIRPORTSan Diego, California

• First impression of San Diego for >18.3 million passengers annually

• Severe water supply problems in region; rising rates• Excess irrigation runoff responsible for hardscape damage;

repaving & restriping costs were over-budget

• 13 WeatherTRAK controllers deliver central control via wireless Internet

• Irrigation system flaws were identified and repaired

• Before WeatherTRAK implementation, airport used 264,000 gallons daily for irrigation

• After WeatherTRAK implementation, usage steadily decreasing to 139,000 gallons daily

• 4-month water savings = 47%

RESULTS

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

MUNICIPALITYCounty of LA Department of Parks and Recreation

• Projected water savings = 37%• Reduced runoff protects local environments• Estimated payback period = 3 years (based on water savings

alone; labor savings and avoided damages further reduce payback period)

• Identify and repair leaks and other irrigation system inefficiencies• Implement 132 WeatherTRAK smart controllers at 7 of the largest

LA County parks

• Water shortages, spiking water rates and aging irrigation infrastructure challenge the department to maintain healthy parks

• Establish positive example of water stewardship for community• Tight budget permits zero margin for error; a proven technology is

required
