There is currently a water scarcity reaching all areas of the globe. If the rate at which humans consume water continues as is, 33% of the world's population could be left with insufficient access to potable water before 2050. New York City has many commercial buildings and the largest population of any city in the United States. As the population continues to increase, the need for potable water continues to grow. Because New York City has such a high population, and so many buildings, there is a high demand for potable water.

520 $a There is currently a water scarcity reaching all areas of the globe. If the rate at which humans consume water continues as is, 33% of the world's population could be left with insufficient access to potable water before 2050. New York City has many commercial buildings and the largest population of any city in the United States. As the population continues to increase, the need for potable water continues to grow. Because New York City has such a high population, and so many buildings, there is a high demand for potable water.
520 $a Much of a commercial building's water consumption is attributed to dated plumbing fixtures, leaky pipes, and cooling towers. Case studies of three prominent, iconic, and landmarked buildings in New York City are explored. The three buildings, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the Exxon Building (part of Rockefeller Center), all underwent major sustainable retrofitting renovations, leading them to achieve high Energy Star ratings and LEED for Existing Buildings certification.
520 $a As part of the major modifications, each building exhibits unique findings in its attempt to use less water. The common theme between all three buildings is replacing old plumbing fixtures and fittings. The result was that each building significantly reduced its water consumption. The recommendations are to retrofit and replace as many old plumbing fixtures as possible to help ease the demand for potable water in New York City.
