Only seven months after its founding, the WISO Energy Team has already reached a major milestone. In February 2018, it initiated the installation of 16 water-saving faucets in Von-Melle-Park 9, the hub of the School of Business, Economics and Social Sciences (WiSo). The implementation of this measure has resulted in total water savings of 10% for the months April and May, compared to 2017. More time is needed to determine whether this measure was ultimately also economically viable. Nevertheless, the WISO Energy Team is delighted about this development. Sarah Carroux, doctoral researcher and acting WISO Energy Officer: “The fact that the water usage in VMP 9 changed measurably within a month of installing the water-saving faucets surprised us a little. We expected a reduction in the water usage, but not by such a margin. This is great news!”
