A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The University of Ottawa is the proud home of an innovative water reuse program whereby water from our Aquariums is used to help cool down buildings on campus. We feel that this program is innovative because it not only helps reduce our water consumption, but also plays an important role in reducing our campus cooling load.
The concept of the program is quite simple. The University of Ottawa employs cooling towers in order to evaporate water from the campus cooling system. Rather than simply using fresh water from the City, the University decided to recover water from another system and use that water (water recycling). This provides for 30% of the needs of the system.
