WAVE-Saver Water Management Software

WAVE'S Mission
WAVE (Water Alliances for Voluntary Efficiency) is a non-regulatory water-efficiency
partnership created and supported by U.S. EPA. WAVE'S mission is to encourage
commercial businesses and institutions to reduce water consumption while increasing
efficiency, profitability and competitiveness.

Software Capabilities
To achieve maximum water-use efficiency WAVE members receive WAVE-Saver, an inter-
active, PC-based software tool that enables hotel maintenance staff to survey water use
and identify water-saving opportunities. Even staff members with limited computer skills
can easily:
^  Calculate the true incremental cost of water
4  Create budget projections based on historical rate and occupancy patterns
4  Evaluate hundreds of efficiency options using "intelligent" look-up tables and
   databases
t  Select, customize and print property-specific forms to guide the collection of data
4  Analyze high-efficiency equipment upgrades using on-line help files which incorporate
   color graphics and full-motion video

Computer  Hardware
WAVE-Saver  installs in minutes and runs with any off-the-shelf, IBM-compatible PC with
Windows 3.X installed.  No proprietary hardware is needed. Required components are
available at most local computer dealers. Technical support is provided free to WAVE
members.
