A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:

Through the 5 Year Energy Conservation Plan FIU has made a commitment to:
Install low-flow water fixtures in all restrooms.
Install efficient 1.6 gpf. toilets as well as motion detecting or hydraulic timed faucets.
Install MBTU metering at all buildings along with computer software to capture chilled water usage. This will help us balance loads more efficiently and charge non E&G entities for exact chilled water usage.
