  1. Water distribution system Chris Cavanaugh, John Chamberlin Bridget Hennessy, and Nick Petrizzo EDSGN 100 Section 11

  2. Table of contents • Project Objective • Introduction • Sustainable Opportunities • Campus Water Consumption • Research • Brainstorming • Evaluate Possible Solutions • Describe Final Idea • Projections/Implementation

  3. Project Objective • Who is Siemens? • What is their challenge for Penn State? • To redesign elements of the campus to be more sustainable • Small scale and scope of the solution

  4. Introduction • Sustainability: A concept with the goal of. . . • Reducing the consumption and wastage of resources • Operating with low maintenance and installation needs • Requires little energy for operation • Makes the customer more environmentally friendly • Customer: Penn State University Park Students

  5. Sustainable opportunities • Possible themes for the project: • Restructure the campus transportation system • Reduce electricity consumption in dormitories • Improve the treatment of waste water through Bio-Retention • Reduce water consumption and waste in dorms

  6. Campus water consumption • A typical four person family consumes 3,500 gallons per month • East Halls consumes approximately 2.5 million gallons of water per month • Packer Hall alone consumes 315,000 gallons of water each month

  7. Research

  8. Research Application • By applying this data, the ideal amount of faucet use is 18,717 gallons per month: • (4.5 hand washes per day)*(30 sec per wash)*(0.0157 gallons per second)*(294 packer inhabitants)*(30 days in a month)= 18,717 gal/month • Consumption of water at the sink accounts for approximately 15% of the total water used in Packer • ((315,000 gal)x(0.15)) – (18,717 theoretical gal. used)= 28,533 gallons excess! • The goal of our design will be to eliminate the 28,533 gallons that are wasted

  9. Brainstorming • Marketing Campaign • Water Timing System • ID Audit System • Water Spreading Device • Electricity Blackout Plan • Flow Monitoring System

  10. Evaluation

  11. Final Concept

  12. Projection & implementation • Advantages • Projected Efficiencies • Lifespan • Manufacturing • Cost • Materials • Application into Packer: • Simple instillation
