Water consumption in a classroom building located on a university campus is assessed in this paper. Per capita water consumption in toilets is presented in two stages: with single-flush and dual-flush devices installed in the toilets. Consumption measurements were made on the building's plumbing fixtures using smart meters. The results showed that there was a 28.97% reduction in per capita water consumption when considering all plumbing fixtures installed in the building in the two analysis periods. With regard to toilets, per capita water consumption was reduced by 36.00% and 39.02% in women's and men's bathrooms, respectively.
