Description

Designing for water efficiency doesn’t have to be an overly complex exercise. In fact, it can be as simple as using the automated worksheet capabilities and hydrozone features native to landscape design software to meet water budgets — or even improve on them. Join Eric Gilbey, PLA, ASLA, Prof. Member APLD, product marketing manager – landscape at Vectorworks, Inc., and Lance Fulton, PLA, Landmark product planner at Vectorworks, Inc. for a session exploring how to use a base map to plan out planting based on hydrozones with the help of data inherent in a site model, empowering attendees to meet legal and project-specific water use standards.
