About Water and the Embedded Energy
“Water is
a precious commodity and a fluid substance that if it is
not controlled intelligently has
a great tendency not only to waste itself but also the energy it
contains.“
Transporting water and
its process from the source to tap, requires huge amount
of energy. This is known as Embedded
Energy. At least 70% of water cost is energy relate, therefore
any reduction in water use or its waste should reduce
its cost and help the environment.
By reducing tap water
waste, AutoTap can save embedded energy for the supplier
one home at a time, with huge accumulative
results. For the consumer AutoTap saves energy cost by
reducing
hot water waste. The combined energy savings potential
of AutoTap can also benefits the environment by reducing
. the
emission of green house gases from power plants .
Of all the requirements
for a green building, none is as important or as crucial
as the efficient use of water and
energy. AutoTap compliments other water and energy saving
appliances in making any kitchen more efficient. That’s
why we say: No home is fully green without AutoTap.
Building green or living green is about efficient use of
resources and materials. None are as important or as crucial
as the efficient use of water and energy. AutoTap brings
efficiency to any kitchen faucet by making its use more convenient. Once AutoTap is
installed any waste of water would have to be intentional.
Each day in the process of washing dishes by hand or rinsing
them for a dishwasher, millions of gallons of heated water
are being wasted as runoffs. The environmental costs of this
waste in terms of spent energy for conveying water, purification,
distribution, heating before use and the energy spent for
waste water treatment are substantial and is not without
a carbon foot print on our environment. AutoTap saves
water and energy and that can help to reduce the traces of
carbon on our environment.
AutoTap can save up to 69% water when washing
dishes by hand and up to 75% when rinsing dishes prior to
placing them in a dishwasher.
AutoTap can also save up to 3 kilowatts
of embedded energy per day by eliminating the hot water
runoffs. Click here to see
