A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The New Frick Chemistry Laboratory on Princeton's campus features unique water conservation elements that result in saving thousands of gallons of domestic water each year, and significantly reducing stormwater runoff. The building has a 12,000 gallon cistern that collects and recycles stormwater from the roof of the building, and collects condensate from mechanical systems in the "penthouse." The water is then treated and reused for toilet flushing through high-efficiency, automatic flush valves. The collection system has provided enough water for all toilet flushing needs since the building opened in fall 2010.
