美国能源部的联邦能源管理计划（DOE/FEMP）正在考虑制定一项针对水资源保护的技术专用超级节能绩效合同（ESPC）。然而，在开发之前，FEMP需要完成市场评估，以更好地了解水资源保护机会以及获取这些机会的可用策略。因此，已经进行了一次市场评估，以评估节水机会，并回答FEMP就是否主要通过开发技术来实施节水战略提出建议所需的关键问题- 具体的水资源保护ESPC。本文描述了评估的方法、结果和建议。包括16个参考文献和表格。

The Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (DOE/FEMP) is considering the development of a technology-specific Super-Energy Saving Performance Contract (ESPC) for water conservation. Prior to the development, however, FEMP requires the completion of a market assessment to better understand the water conservation opportunities and the strategies available for capturing them. Thus, a market assessment has been undertaken to evaluate the water conservation opportunities and answer the key questions necessary for FEMP to make recommendations on whether or not to proceed with strategies for water conservation primarily through the development of a technology-specific water conservation ESPC. This paper describes the approach, outcome and recommendations of this assessment. Includes 16 references, tables.
