Energy Embodiment of Water Supply: A Comparison between the US and China Weiwei Mo1, a, Qiong Zhang1,b and Rongchang Wang2,c* 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of South Florida, FL, USA 2State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resource Reuse, Key Laboratory of Yangtze Aquatic Environment, MOE, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China aweiwei@mail.usf.edu, bqiongzhang@usf.edu, c* wangrongchang@tongji.edu.cn Keywords: Water supply, embodied energy, direct/indirect energy, life cycle assessment Abstract.
Possible reasons for the higher indirect energy use in System B might be more administrative and engineering (maintenance and repairing) services involved, lower transportation efficiency, more self water usage within the system and higher labor rates.
Considering the differences in the top contribution sectors of the operational energy intensities between the US and China (Table 2), the high indirect operational energy in System B may be caused by more administrative and engineering (maintenance and repairing) services involved, lower transportation efficiency, more water used within the system and higher labor rates.
The higher constructional cost in System B may be caused by higher labor rates in the US, more engineering services involvement, longer project time frame and lower transportation efficiency.
