What You Will Learn
The green building movement has challenged manufacturers, design teams, and owners to create products and designs that have a minimal impact on the environment while contributing to the health and well-being of those who live and work in the built space. One of the concerns driving the changes? We can no longer rely on an endless supply of potable water – in parts of the US, as well as across the globe.
This session will explore solutions that may increase water efficiency in single-family and multi-family residences. We’ll review the water efficiency requirements and credits in several green building programs for homes and cover the dynamics that are driving the green building movement for single=family and multi-family residences. Examples of water efficient, high-performance plumbing fittings and fixtures will be included.
During this session, you will:
- Review the water efficiency requirements and credits in several green building programs for homes.
- Explore solutions that may increase water efficiency in single-family and multi-family residences.
- Examine the dynamics driving the green building movement for a variety of residential settings.
