Nadler Quoted in U.S. News & World Report

U.S. News & World Report featured comments from David Nadler, Ph.D., research assistant professor and department chair of electrical and computer engineering, in an article about the ways that homeowners can conserve water. Nadler advises consumers to consider switching out an older toilet model for a new, low-flow one—ideally with the WaterSense label, which can reduce toilet-related water use by approximately 13,000 gallons per year and may come with savings from utility providers.

“Similar to ENERGY STAR-rated appliances, WaterSense toilets may earn you a rebate from your water supplier,” says Nadler, who formerly served as a director within the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. He adds that composting toilets can reduce water consumption even more, as they require no flushing and “little to no water,” in most cases.
