- Identified inefficiency patterns
- Benchmark against similar properties

### 4. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
- Current estimated annual water heating costs
- Current estimated annual water costs
- Projected costs with recommended upgrades
- Simple payback periods for each recommendation
- 5-year and 10-year cumulative savings projections
- Available rebates/incentives (federal, state, local, utility)

### 5. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

Organize by priority and include for each:
- Action description
- Urgency (Immediate/1-2 years/3-5 years/Monitor)
- Estimated cost range
- Expected annual savings (water + energy)
- Payback period
- Implementation complexity (DIY/Professional/Complex)
- Environmental impact (CO2 reduction, water savings in gallons)

### 6. COMPLIANCE & SAFETY
- Relevant code compliance status (IPC, UPC, local amendments)
- Lead pipe assessment (if applicable)
- Backflow prevention status
- Water heater safety (T&P valve, seismic straps if CA/WA)
- Recommended safety upgrades

### 7. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
- Recommended inspection frequency
- Annual maintenance tasks
- Signs to monitor for system degradation
- Professional service recommendations

### 8. APPENDIX
