Building standards

At JGU, water efficiency is built into our infrastructure from the start. Every new and renovated building incorporates water-efficient design, including dual plumbing systems, low-flow taps and hot water recirculation. Where possible, we use precast construction materials, which reduces water use during construction and improves resource efficiency.

These choices ensure that our buildings do more than meet functional needs. They contribute to long-term sustainability. Students, faculty and visitors can see for themselves how responsible design conserves water without compromising comfort or aesthetics.

Preventive Measures

  • Leaks and seepages are attended to and sealed immediately, so that no water is wasted.

  • Water meters are installed on all distribution lines to track consumption, identify losses and detect leaks, which supports ongoing conservation.

  • Sensor water dispensers, circulation pumps and aerators are active across the campus, providing automated conservation at touchpoints and reducing wastage and stagnation.

Standards for Water Conservation

  • Hand faucets

  • Self-closing taps

  • Dual-flush toilets

  • Auto-sense urinals

  • Sprinklers for horticulture

Water Reuse Measures

  • Treated water from our sewage treatment plants (STPs), which supplies 100% of landscape irrigation with no freshwater used

  • Hot water circulation pumps

  • Water meters to monitor reuse efficiency

  • Rainwater recharge pits, with a network of 67 pits that is estimated to offset 23.5% of campus water demand over the year, and 71.6% during the monsoon
