Designing for Sustainable Water Use

Name:

Designing for Sustainable Water Use

Description:

AAU is committed to minimizing water use through the application of sustainable building and landscaping standards. We integrate LEED standards, xeriscaping principles, and drought-tolerant plants to reduce water consumption across campus. Water-efficient irrigation systems, smart controllers, and greywater recycling further optimize water use while maintaining an attractive campus.
Our buildings feature low-flow fixtures, water-saving appliances, and rainwater harvesting systems, demonstrating our adherence to water-conserving building standards. These practices align with SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), showcasing our commitment to environmental stewardship.
By implementing these standards, AAU leads in sustainable water use, setting an example for our community and beyond.
