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):
The University of Rochester installs urinals and toilets to the 3.8 lt (1 gal) flush whenever possible. In LaChase we installed hot water instant-heats under the sinks to save on the copper lines. We also install LED lighting in just about all new buildings and renovations. The UR builds to LEED Platinum whenever possible and NYSERTA for energy rebates.
