Based on the data provided by Tractor, the average monthly water consumption is 735.7 m3. Comparing the average water
consumption rate in the workshop during and after the eco-solution of mointoring and solving the underground leakage
indicates a potential water saving of 791.8 m3 per month. This translates to a reduction of approximately 2,264 kg of CO2
emissions over two months, assuming immediate detection and swift resolution of the leak. Furthermore, implementing
retrofit mist nozzles and promoting reduced tap water usage for all Tractor employees can save approximately 24 m3 of water
per year. This equates to an annual reduction of around 34 kg of CO2 emissions. A summary of savings is shown in Table 4.

Table 4: Summary of Water Consumption, Carbon Emission, and Cost Savings.

In addition to reducing 2,298 kg in carbon emissions, implementing water-saving measures could lead to a potential annual
cost savings of $5,932 for Tractor. In conclusion, the project provided the ESI team with valuable knowledge, awareness, and
practical eco-solutions for combating climate change.
