26% Daily Reduction · $27,000/yr Saved
Smart Valve™ pilot verified by independent third-party Measurement & Verification. Water and sewer savings confirmed across the primary domestic 6-inch service and the full combined system.
August–October 2025 · Normalized for occupied room-nights per day
October's 56% reduction reflects full system calibration. The pilot demonstrates the system's ability to significantly improve water efficiency without impacting guest experience.
6-inch primary domestic service vs full combined domestic system
The full-system figure (17%) includes a second 4-inch domestic service line that was not part of the pilot, which dilutes the combined average. The 6-inch service alone — where the Smart Valve™ was installed — shows 26%–34% reduction.

Key Findings
After the system calibrated during August and September, October 2025 showed a 56% occupancy-normalized reduction on the 6" service — the strongest single-month result in the pilot.
The Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale is a property with zero tolerance for pressure or flow disruption. The M&V report confirmed no impact to guest water pressure or service quality throughout the pilot.
The 21% daily cost reduction applies to the combined water + sewer bill. Sewer charges in South Florida are typically metered to water consumption — so every gallon saved reduces both line items.
Following the pilot M&V confirmation, the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale result has been used as the basis for a portfolio-wide engagement across the brand's global flagship properties.
