Project Objective Introduction Sustainable Opportunities Campus Water Consumption Research Brainstorming Evaluate Possible Solutions Describe Final Idea Projections/Implementation TABLE OF CONTENTS
3
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
4
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
5
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
6
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)*(0.0157 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
