3.5. Promoting conscious water usage on campus

MATE is committed to modernizing and upgrading its campus buildings with a strong focus on sustainability. In recent years, renovations and reconstructions with energy- and water-efficiency in mind have become increasingly common. Recent upgrades have introduced a range of water-conscious features, including automatic sensor or push-button urinals with flush valves, water-saving hand-held showerheads, self-closing taps, and water flow regulators in bathrooms and restrooms. MATE also actively promotes conscious water usage on the campuses by organizing conferences and presentations. For example, each year, the United Nations Water Organization (UN-Water) focuses on a specific theme, which is linked to the World Water Day motto.
