Show moreA water consumption investigation for Michigan State University's campus was continued because of increasing costs in purchasing water, as well as the direct translation to energy conservation, reduction in greenhouse gases, and a reduction in power plant wastes. By examining past and present water meter data for Residence Halls and General Fund Buildings, water using practices and equipment were outlined for improvement. With the available water data and estimated costs from various renovation projects, cost-benefit analyses were conducted. Pay-back periods varied between the projects, but with some as low as one year, it is clear that changes to Michigan State University's water infrastructure can result in significant economic improvements and reductions in water consumption.
