How to save 14461K gallons of water

How can 14, 461, 915 gallons of water, the equivalent of 231, 390, 640 glasses of drinking water, be saved? 

The answer is through smart water management practices and a proactive approach to indoor and outdoor building sustainability. With smart water management practices rainwater and greywater—defined as waste water expelled from household and office sinks, showers, baths and washing machines/dishwashers, water that doesn’t contain fecal matter—become resources instead of wastes. Instead of using fresh, clean drinking water, greywater can be treated and recycled to: flush toilets, landscape irrigation or for certain other industrial processes. Precious rainwater can also be captured and cycled back into a building indoor and outdoor system (i.e. landscape irrigation, flushing toilets). 

With smartwater management plans, water use is measured and analyzed in order to observe areas where water use can be reduced (i.e. water metering). Another way water can be intelligently managed and respected is by installing highly efficient water fixtures and fittings in bathrooms and kitchens (sinks, toilets, and showers). Through the guidance of local green building certification systems like ESTIDAMA PEARL and EHS and international green building certification systems like USGBC LEED, MECSD is able to provide expert consultation to owners of Gorgeous Towers, Data Centers, Schools, Luxury Residences, Hospitals, Retail centers and Warehouses and Offices throughout the UAE for how to properly manage water so that together, over 55 projects, we save 14, 461, 915 gallons of water, the equivalent of 231, 390, 640 glasses of drinking water.

 So, what will be the story of your building’s water?
