Analysis of Water Conservation Potential in Campus Based on WATERGY

In order to estimate water conservation potential a nd evaluate payback on investment of water conservation facilities, WATERGY, a spreadsheet model instead of traditional water quota method, is discussed and used in campus. WATERGY was coined by American Alliance to Save Energy to describe the strong link between water and e nergy in municipal water systems. The assumptions and parameters used in WATERGY model applicable to campus case were fully considered and modified according to rel ative Chinese standards and specifications. As a re sult of BUCEA campus water conservation case study, it is est imated that most water efficient measures repay the mselves within 1~4 years and yield many rewards. Energy savings of water conservation measures are as importan t as water savings. The difficulties of applying WATERGY model, such as lacking adequate water meters and general survey data are also discussed.
