American Standard Helps Massachusetts Town Slash Energy and Water Use by 20%

摘要

Northampton is a picturesque college town in western Massachusetts that may appear quaint, but it is one of several cutting edge communities seeking significant energy and water savings. Last year, the city completed a $6.5 million municipal improvement project that didn't cost Northampton taxpayers a dime, but will slash energy and water use by 20 percent over 15 years. Water conservation, achieved by high-efficiency American Standard plumbing fixtures, was a focus in the upgrade. All told, the improvements are expected to save the city two million gallons of water annually.
