A brief description of any water metering and management systems employed by the institution:
Makeup Water from the Cortland City Waterworks is metered into the Central Heating Plant using a turbine meter and pulse output to a BMS system. The water usage is tracked so that if there are increases in makeup water the root cause of the increase is determined and corrective actions can be taken. This might be in the form of steam leakage,condensate leakage etc.
In addition to this, we have a number of stand alone buildings that we meter and track the water consumption.
None

the existing restroom fixtures have been replaced with automatic flush and sensors systematically during last few years.
None
A brief description of any water-efficient landscape design practices employed by the institution (e.g. xeriscaping):

None
A brief description of any weather-informed irrigation technologies employed by the institution:
NA
None
A brief description of other water conservation and efficiency strategies employed by the institution:
Athletic fields that need irrigation are being irrigated during night when less evaporation occurs. The water cannon are also high pressure that is more efficient.
