Case Study: Yale Maxnet
Published in Viktor Boed, Ira Goldschmidt, Robert Hobbs, John J. McGowan, Roberto Meinrath, Frantisek Zezulka, of Facilities Automation Systems, 1999
The main parameter that moves the chill water through the coils is the pressure and the differential pressure. Since Yale has an all-primary system, it was prudent to check building pressure conditions at each location. Pressure profiles were developed at each building, consisting of static and forecasted dynamic pressure. Each building and associated cooling coils were checked to see if they were properly sized for the pressure conditions. Since the buildings were built before the conversion of the chill water distribution system to all-primary system (and certainly long before the chill water metering system installation), pressure conditions at each location were important. Despite the initial survey and the follow-up computer simulation, full understanding of the pressure profile was possible only after installation of the metering system.
Analysis on construction index and standard of water-saving units of public institutions in southern water-rich region
Published in Mohd Johari Mohd Yusof, Junwen Zhang, Advances in Civil Engineering: Structural Seismic Resistance, Monitoring and Detection, 2023
Generally speaking, both national and local construction indicators and standards basically require the construction of public institutions to meet the water-saving technology evaluation indicators such as water metering rate, popularization rate of water-saving appliances, per capita water consumption, leakage rate of water appliances and water supply pipe network, as well as rules and regulations, measurement statistics, management and maintenance, unconventional water utilization Water saving publicity and other water-saving management evaluation indicators. Evaluate according to these construction indicators and standards to judge whether it meets the requirements of water-saving units of public institutions.
general conclusions and future outlook
Published in Maria Fernanda Reyes Perez, Water Supply and Demand Management in the lápagos: A Case Study of Santa Cruz Island, 2017
Santa Cruz continues to deal with the effects of a rapidly increasing tourist industry, like other islands around the world. Water supply problems, caused mainly by the exponential local population and tourism growth over the last two decades, include an unreliable supply, poor brackish water quality (chloride levels from 800 to 1200 mg/L), fixed water tariff structures, lack of water metering, and high water losses in the distribution system (ranging from 35% to 70%, according to different studies). These factors have led to a deeply rooted - albeit not completely accurate - perception of chronic water shortage by locals and authorities.
Housing managers as middle actors implementing sustainable housing policies in Finland

Water metering technology has developed rapidly and has enabled accurate, remotely read and near real-time data on water consumption. This development is an underlying prerequisite for the regulation of apartment-level water metering.
