In this study we looked at locations of water, gas and electric meters across the WSU campus. This is important because we must know this to understand how energy flows from utilities and between buildings. Often, addresses on utility bills do not match the address of the building. Knowing which meter serves which building is important to benchmark energy consumption, some meters serve multiple buildings, knowing the locations allows planning for submeters to measure energy consumption per building, alongside this, associating a meter with a building allows for precise analysis such as energy per square foot and identify inefficient energy usage. 

Meters are most dense in the center campus and are mostly in good condition other than the numbers being wiped off of some due to weathering, about 10-15%., the most numerous are the gas meters (~50%) and electric meters (~46%) and most electrical meters are locked behind gates or inside of boxes especially in areas away from the center of each part of each campus. The distribution of meters is greatest in the three areas outlined, (north campus), (central/ main campus), and the (medical campus). There are satellite areas such as the football field with meters as well.
