Western has building level water meters installed at all major buildings.
Water performance in all of our residences is reported at the building level on a monthly basis. Water performance all campus buildings is evaluated at the building level on an annual basis using water use intensity and absolute consumption. This information is then cross checked with changes in building use, occupancy and renovations and used to identify potential water leaks. Water performance is also evalutated and reported on at a campus level.
