Description
The full-day Net Zero Water for Buildings and Sites provides detailed technical information on the design of water management systems that use rainwater harvesting, on-site storage, aggressive conservation and high-efficiency distribution to reduce or eliminate dependence on municipal infrastructure.
Very few buildings around the world have managed to achieve net zero water use, yet it remains a critical response to growing water scarcity in many regions, and a basic requirement of the Living Building Challenge.
