A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:
n/a
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):
Specifically in regards to water conservation, Seattle Central has taken several steps to act on that statement. Replacement of standard plumbing fixtures with low flow faucets, toilets, and urinals. We also recently installed glycol in our heating and cooling loops so that we no longer drain those systems in the winter time (sending water down the drain) and requiring those loops to be refilled again in the spring time. That saves approximately 10K gallons each cycle.
