Abstract

Some Buildings of the construction assets of the Genoan University (Italy) show exaggerated hydraulic consumption which can be mostly attributed to wrong management or hidden losses. The conducted activity and the study presented herein entail an inner patrol of the water system distribution, several surveys and separation of the total hydric net through hydraulic switches. Starting from the layout of the inner water net distribution, several specific surveys have been introduced and the corresponding devices have been taken into account such as : valves, counters, pressure adapters, reservoirs. In brief the encountered problems have been, subsequently, solved, relying on hydraulic interventions. The paper is organized as follows in chapter 1 the introduction and target of the work is presented while §2 the major anomalies are discussed in chapter 3 water consumptions are displaced and in the last chapter conclusions are drawn.
