Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:

Low to Medium

Part 1

Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	59,217.60 Cubic meters	74,714.60 Cubic meters

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	59,217.60 Cubic meters	74,714.60 Cubic meters

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	April 1, 2017	March 30, 2018
Baseline Year	April 1, 2009	March 30, 2010

If end date of the baseline year/period is 2004 or earlier, provide:

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:

A major bathroom fixture retrofit was started in 2010 and continued on through 2011. Additionally, the University of Winnipeg has seen significant growth in building footprint and has added a number of washroom facilities since 2009. Because it is prior to the retrofits, 2009 is the best year for the baseline.

Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	261	303
Number of employees resident on-site	0	0
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	7,680	7,512
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	832	750
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	0	0
Weighted campus users	6,449.25	6,272.25

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	2,425.65 Cubic meters	3,146.80 Cubic meters

Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:

22.92

Part 2

Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area	144,166.88 Gross square meters	103,592.96 Gross square meters

Potable water use per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per unit of floor area	10.08 Cubic meters per square meter	17.70 Cubic meters per square meter

Percentage reduction in potable water use per unit of floor area from baseline:

43.05

Part 3

Does the institution wish to pursue Part 3 of this credit? (reductions in total water use per acre/hectare of vegetated grounds):

Yes

Area of vegetated grounds:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Vegetated grounds	0.93 Hectares	0.96 Hectares

Total water use (potable + non-potable) per unit of vegetated grounds:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use per unit of vegetated grounds	6,772,140.79 Cubic meters per hectare	8,293,076.56 Cubic meters per hectare

Percentage reduction in total water use per unit of vegetated grounds from baseline:

18.34
