Abstract: This study proposes a simple benchmarking model for domestic water consumption correlated with its corresponding carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission. The model was tested with a survey of average water consumption in 60 apartments of Hong Kong. The results were compared with the global fresh water consumption patterns to derive the water consumption and CO 2 emission benchmarks for residential buildings in the region.
