Building Towards Water Efficiency: Innovation and Education in New and Existing Homes

WSP is working with Dr. Sarah Wolfe of the Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo in a nation-wide project that investigates residential builders' deep beliefs and values (tacit knowledge). The project, "Building Towards Water Efficiency: Innovation and Education in New and Existing Homes," examines how institutional, organizational and personal knowledge influence residential builders' decisions related to water efficiency innovations. The results will be used to contribute to effective policy for residential water efficiency.
