Gain essential information to help your clients save on water costs now and future proof against ongoing water shortages. 


Do you know the top indoor water conservation strategies?  
Did you know that landscaping consumes over 30% of average home water use?

Despite Pacific NW snow pack levels bouncing back this year, the threat of future water crises is likely and remains top of mind for most homeowners (especially for all those Californians moving up to Oregon!). Climatologists predict that the Pacific NW will experience warmer, wetter winters resulting in less snowpack, and that we will experience longer, drier and hotter summer seasons.


Learning Objectives:

  • Access helpful cost-saving resources that apply year-round to both indoor and outdoor environments
  • Learn to help your clients identify (and/or upgrade to) a water efficient home
  • Explore various home certifications in water conservation 
  • Learn about outdoor water conserving landscape strategies (rainwater harvesting, greywater, rain gardens, etc)
