Analysis of Water Consumption in the Campus of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW in Years 2012-2016

Abstract

On the basis of the registered indications of the water meter, a study on the size and variability of water consumption on the WULS campus in the academic years 2012/16 is presented. The average specific water consumption at a time when classes are implemented amounted to 26.6 dm 3 per student per day for full-time studies student and 19.7 dm 3 per student per day for the student part-time studies. During the holiday season, the rates are lower at 18.4 and 11.8 dm 3 per student per day, respectively. These ratios were determined without taking the water consumption in the dorms into account. The daily peaking factor amounted (N d) to 1.36, while the hourly peaking factor (N h), reached 1.71. Within the week cycle, the highest water consumption was observed in Tuesdays and the lowest-in Sundays. The average Tuesday demands are 40% higher than the Sunday demands. The water consumption peaks during the day occur between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. as well as 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. The hourly structure of the water distribution in the WULS-SGGW campus is similar to the weekend structure of water distribution in multi-family residential buildings, with the exception of the later occurrence of the evening summit.

Methodology for estimating energy and water consumption patterns in university buildings: case study, Federal University of Roraima (UFRR)

“…Most of the studies found in the literature deal with residential buildings. In fact, the literature survey conducted identified 9 studies on the consumption of water (Abdelalim et al, 2015;Bonnet et al, 2002;Marinho et al, 2019;Meireles et al, 2014Meireles et al, , 2018Wichowski et al, 2019;Zhou et al, 2013) and 17 on the energy consumption (Abdelalim et al, 2015;Amber et al, 2017;Bonnet et al, 2002;Escobedo et al, 2014;Hong et al, 2011;Khoshbakht et al, 2018;Wang, 2016;Ward et al, 2008;Zhou et al, 2013) in university buildings that used different methodologies.…”

Energy Efficiency Measures Applied to Heritage Retrofit Buildings: A Simulated Student Housing Case Study in Vienna

“…The solar thermal energy system is designed using 20 flat-plate collectors with an overall gross area of 40 m 2 to cover a daily consumption of hot water of 1500 L/day for 52 students. The average specific water consumption amounted to 26.6 L per student per day for full-time-studies students [26]. The geothermal borehole field is designed using 4 boreholes, with a depth of 50 m each.…”

Unevenness of Water Consumption in Settlement on the Case of Doboj

“…For sizing the distribution network and other supporting objects in the water supply system, the basic input parameter for sizing is the maximum hourly water consumption Q max,h representing the product of water consumption on the day of maximum consumption (Q max,day ) and the hourly non-uniformity coefficient C h,max [9] . 0,00 1,00 2,00 3,00 4,00 5,00 6,00 7,00…”
