Optional Fields

A brief description of the institution's water-related behavior change initiatives:

Lawn irrigation water use reductions from implementing smart systems utilizing weather stations and moisture monitors

Using application equipment that lessens drift and reduces water usage

Use of collected rainwater for irrigation

Commissioning program for campus buildings

Installation of campus building utility meters

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

IUPUI utilizes a rainwater recovery system to power two of the irrigation systems. The rainwater from the roof of Glick/Clinical Quad and SELB are collected and held in cisterns under the lawn. We then pump that water for the drip irrigation of the surrounding two systems.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives:

Operation and maintenance of storm water infrastructure, including quality units (SQU's) or (BMP's)
