  • Building Systems Upgrades

    The following are Sustainable Strategies to consider as your space undergoes a building system upgrade to improve energy, water use and occupant comfort. Refer to the Share Section for a representative project Case Study to discover key practices, benefits, results and checklists.

  • Water Efficiency

    Buildings are significant users of the Earth’s potable water supply.  The goal of a responsible building operator should be to encourage a smarter use of water, both inside and outside the facility.  Indoor water use reduction is typically achieved through efficient plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances and process equipment used to heat and cool the building; outdoor water use reduction efforts should focus on water-wise landscaping.

  • Space Reconfiguration and Renovation Projects

    As needs change over time, tenants often need to convert space or phase the conversion of individual space or rooms to meet these changing needs.

    Pressure-assisted toilets use the pressure from the main water line to more efficiently empty the bowl and use less water. Low-flow flush valves used in toilets are those that use less than 1.6 gallons of water per flush.

  • Low-Flow Urinal

    Low-flow urinals are those that use less than 1.0 gallon of water per flush. Low-flow urinal flush valves are available in varying levels of water use, from 0.5 gpf to 0.125 gpf.

  • Conventional

    Conventional toilets are those that use 1.6 gallons, or more, of water per flush.

  • Conventional Urinal

    Conventional urinals are those that use 1.0 gallon of water per flush.

  • Low-Flow Shower

    Low-flow showerheads use less than 2.5 gallons of water per minute GPM. Look for dual-flow shower controls that allow the user to reduce and restore the water flow during times of soaping and rinsing while maintaining the same temperature of the water.
