PROPOSED BUILDING BIG PICTURE
With the conservation and rainwater reclaim Looking at the water conservation strategies in
strategies combined we end up with a predicted pie chart format (Figure 16) we see the remaining
total potable use reduction of 64% compared with significant portions of potable water consumption
a conventional building. Figure 15 illustrates, in are irrigation and life support. Depending on the
Sankey diagram format, the proposed water flows plant types selected it is possible most of the
for the building. irrigation could be eliminated after the first year or
two once the plants are established.
