 Water Conservation
The team has developed its objectives and targets for the 5-year timeframe based on the requirements of Executive Order 13123 and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. The campus is undergoing considerable facility construction and renovations, and as a consequence maintaining an effective water management program is particularly challenging. The long term purpose of the water management program is to optimize water consumption on campus through a combination of policies, best available technologies, operations and maintenance, and campus-wide water conservation awareness and participation. The near-term objectives of the water conservation program are to conduct feasibility studies of commonly-employed water conservation measures and, wherever appropriate implement them. The team will lead the effort in developing a campus-wide water conservation plan that will include addressing the longer-term goals of increasing awareness and designing water conservation measures into building design and renovation. If you would like more information about this program, please contact Greg Leifer Tracking Our Water Conservation Progress

At
the Bethesda Campus, the Office of Research Facilities Development and
Operations (ORF) conducts the primary activities for water policy management
and development activities. The Division of Property Management is responsible
for the design, construction, renovation, repair and operation of the
physical facilities on the Bethesda Campus. The Division's Utilities
Operations is responsible for audits, feasibility studies, and implementation
of conservation measures on NIH facilities. The Division of Environmental
Protection (DEP) takes the lead in overall environmental stewardship and
sustainability at the NIH. Representatives from each of these divisions
have formed a team to address long-standing, critical water (and energy)
management issues on the campus.
