WATER MISER
The Flex House demonstrates how to live right with less water.
BY JULIET GRABLE
The Flex House was designed and built in
California, a state that has just recovered
from the worst drought in recorded
history. With its large population and
dependence on agriculture, the Golden
State is—by necessity—leading efforts
to reduce water use across the board.
With emphasis on right-sized living, Shelter Dynamics and Green Builder Media
®
set out to demonstrate strategies in The Flex House that reduce potable water use
while meeting or exceeding California’s stringent standards.
