T he seventh annual Watts to
Water awards ceremony, held
during the Denver Metro
BOMA June 2017 luncheon
at the Denver Athletic Club,
recognized outstanding buildings in
the greater Denver metro area for
superior achievement in the reduc-
tion of energy and water consump-
tion.
Watts to Water is a free metrow-
ide recognition program dedicated
to the reduction of energy and
water consumption in the greater
Denver metro area.
Last year, Watts to Water mem-
bers purchased 11.61 million kWh
grid of electricity and saved 3.19
million kBtu of natural gas, 6.29
million kBtu of district steam and
517.49 million gallons of water.
That’s enough electricity to power
1,074 homes for an entire year,
enough steam and gas to heat 148
homes for one year, and enough
water to run the average dishwash-
er more than 86 million times.
