Optional Fields

A brief description of the institution's water-related behavior change initiatives, e.g. initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices such as signage and competitions:

The annual Residence Energy Conservation Challenge also looks at water use. Students are encouraged to take shorter showers, only do laundry when they have a full load, turn off water when brushing their teeth, etc. Reduction in water consumption is factored into the overall score at the end of the challenge. All students and employees are encouraged to contact the Sustainability Office if they notice water wastage anywhere, such as toilets over flushing or taps leaking.

A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:

Z building has a storm water reclamation system, that collects rainwater in an underground storage tank and recycles it for toilet flushing and site irrigation.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives (e.g. building retrofits):

Bathroom upgrades have taken place in R1, R2 and R4 to replace all toilets and shower heads with low-flow ones, and aerators were added to all sinks. R3 is the newest building, and all these feature were included in the building design. 6 of 8 refrigerator condensing units have been upgrades from water cooled to air cooled Any time fixtures are replaced, low-flow is used.
