Presentation Transcript

  1. Water Conservation Measures in Green Building By Sijia Cao

  2. Agenda • Green Building • LEED • Water Conservation Measures • Water Efficient Landscaping • Innovative Wastewater Technologies • Water Use Reduction • Case study (Sidwell Friends School, Washington DC)

  3. Green Building Green buildingrefers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.  (Wiki)

  4. Green Building- LEED • Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design • Developed by USGBC • A suite of rating Systems • 6 Categories (Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Innovation in Design, Regional Priority) • 4 Certification Levels

  5. Water Conservation Measures • Water Efficient Landscaping • Solidago (Invasive) Efficient irrigation Captured rainwater Recycled wastewater Plant species

  6. Water Conservation Measures Innovative Wastewater Technologies (Treat on-site)

  7. Water Conservation Measures • Water Use Reduction (Water-saving instruments) ultra low volume

  8. Case study --SidwellFriends School • Where: Washington DC • When: September 2006 • What: LEED Platinum Building

  9. Water Efficient Landscaping in Sidwell Friends School Efficient irrigation: Planting native species, drought resistant and able to thrive naturally in our area eliminates the need to irrigate, saving water and energy Captured rainwater Water loss and soil erosion

  10. Innovative Wastewater Technologiesin Sidwell Friends School Reuse Holding Tank (reclaimed water/grey water) 93% less water used
