Green building and improved energy efficiency are both trendy and practical ways for builders to add value to their construction projects. According to a recent article in the Tampa Bay Business Journal (August 8, 2008), an often over looked but critically important design aspect is water conservation. Incorporating water saving technologies can save the building owner thousands of gallons of water a day.
According to the article, some examples of ways that commercial buildings can save money are retrofitting restroom facilities with low-flow toilets and sinks, using more greywater, and reusing condensation collected from the cooling towers used to air-condition the building.
