 Project Objective  Introduction  Sustainable Opportunities  Campus Water Consumption  Research  Brainstorming  Evaluate Possible Solutions  Describe Final Idea  Projections/Implementation TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Who is Siemens?  What is their challenge for Penn State?  To redesign elements of the campus to be more sustainable  Small scale and scope of the solution PROJECT OBJECTIVE

 Sustainability: A concept with the goal of...  Reducing the consumption and wastage of resources  Operating with low maintenance and installation needs  Requires little energy for operation  Makes the customer more environmentally friendly  Customer: Penn State University Park Students INTRODUCTION

 Possible themes for the project:  Restructure the campus transportation system  Reduce electricity consumption in dormitories  Improve the treatment of waste water through Bio-Retention  Reduce water consumption and waste in dorms SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITIES

 A typical four person family consumes 3,500 gallons per month  East Halls consumes approximately 2.5 million gallons of water per month  Packer Hall alone consumes 315,000 gallons of water each month CAMPUS WATER CONSUMPTION

RESEARCH

 By applying this data, the ideal amount of faucet use is 18,717 gallons per month:  (4.5 hand washes per day)*(30 sec per wash)*( gallons per second)*(294 packer inhabitants)*(30 days in a month)= 18,717 gal/month  Consumption of water at the sink accounts for approximately 15% of the total water used in Packer  ((315,000 gal)x(0.15)) – (18,717 theoretical gal. used)= 28,533 gallons excess!  The goal of our design will be to eliminate the 28,533 gallons that are wasted RESEARCH APPLICATION
