commercial activities and information on key water consumers within the airport, as
well as the water and wastewater infrastructure, have been readily made available.
5.2 Municipality of Thermi
The pilot concerning the Municipality of Thermi in Greece targets domestic users.
Families are the primary users including children, young adults, and adults. The
Municipality of Thermi is situated in the eastern area of the prefecture of Thessaloniki, at a distance of 15 kilometers from the metropolitan center of Thessaloniki.
The Municipality of Thermi consists of 14 communities with Thermi being the seat
of the Municipality, covering an area of 38.34 hectares. The total population of the
Municipality of Thermi is 53,070 according to the census in 2011; however, the
actual population is now estimated at 70,000.
The main land use in the area is agriculture; however, land use is changing
with more land being dedicated to various types of buildings and infrastructure.
Thermi has a strong developmental relationship with an urban area located in close
proximity: the Thessaloniki Urban Agglomeration (TUA). It is a rapidly growing
and economically viable zone, which is developed as a residential expansion of the
TUA, but also as a pole for the location of industrial plants, tertiary sector activities,
and highly specialized services, maintaining, at the same time, the characteristics of
a developed suburban agricultural economy. At the southeast part of the settlement,
there is a planned area of soft manufacturing activities. Finally, there are some large
land property areas, such as the military installations, the airport, the American Farm
School and the buildings of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), which
cover a significant amount of land in the area.
For the purpose of water management pilot, a selection of 10 households was
made. These households were selected so that they represent a wide variety of types
of houses and families in order to examine the effects of different types of domestic
users.
5.3 NUIG Engineering Building
The pilot in National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG) targets staff members
(including managers, technicians, and researchers) and students (including undergraduates and postgraduates). While staff members are interested in understanding
water usage behaviors and detecting saving opportunities, students are interested in
visualizing the building consumption and water consumption data in their projects
and research works. The age groups of this pilot site range from young adults
to adults. NUIG is one of the Ireland’s national universities, founded in 1845, it
is ranked among the top 2% of universities in the world. Located in the city of
Galway (population 70,000 approximately) on the west coast of Ireland, NUIG has
