Does the institution have building-level water consumption meters for at least one building?:
Yes

A brief description of the water metering employed:

There are two major types of meters available for tracking the use of water at Carnegie Mellon. One type is meters placed by the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA), and the other is internal meters installed on campus by the University. The number of each of these meters on campus are two indicators of the level of accuracy of information for water use. Using the total number of meters on campus, a meter-to-building ratio can be calculated to indicate the amount of metering coverage there is at Carnegie Mellon. It should be noted that while the meter-to-building ratio is greater than one, this does not mean that each building has a meter. A number of buildings have more than one meter and some meters may track water flow through more than one building.

50% of the University campus buildings have water consumption meters employed.


The percentage of building space with water metering:
71
