Resources Water Target Tools & Cost Reduction
Resources — Interactive Tools

Four tools.
One decision:
how much is water costing you?

Calculate your water savings opportunity, set GRESB-compliant reduction targets, model cap rate asset value impact, and estimate billing error exposure — using WST’s verified portfolio data as the benchmark baseline.

Cap Rate Value Calculator

Translate water savings
into asset value.

Enter your annual water cost reduction and cap rate. The calculator returns the direct asset value contribution, the IC presentation format, and the portfolio-level aggregate impact.

Savings Opportunity Estimator

Three categories of exposure.
One estimate in 30 seconds.

Input your property type, annual water bill, and what systems are present. The estimator models the three cost categories WST consistently finds — billing errors, cooling tower waste, and sewer overcharges — using WST’s verified portfolio averages as the baseline.

Total Estimated Annual Opportunity
$52,500
combined low estimate — see breakdown below
Billing error recovery $28,000–$42,000
Cooling tower optimisation $15,000–$32,000
Sewer exemption (annual forward) $18,000–$45,000
Retroactive recovery (est.) $56,000–$126,000
Confidence level Preliminary
Note: These are preliminary estimates using WST portfolio averages for this property type. Actual figures depend on local utility rates, current billing classifications, and physical inspection findings. A WST feasibility assessment from utility bills alone typically delivers findings within 5 business days at zero cost.

★ Selected asset type. WST portfolio averages based on verified utility bill data from 500+ commercial properties. GRESB targets represent a 15–25% reduction from the current portfolio baseline, which is the minimum required for a meaningful score improvement.
