Project information
The Tepper Quad at Carnegie Mellon University meets the LEED Gold certification standard (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Part of the LEED points achieved are due to the installation of a rainwater harvesting system. WISY products are used for rainwater harvesting to ensure excellent water quality in the cistern, after which the water passes through a customised filter and pump station provided by the US company RMS, from where it is channelled to the points of use.
