WATER
Grey water systems
Greywater is defined as the wastewater
produced from baths and showers,
clothes washers, and lavatories.
Greywater can be used for irrigation,
through sub-surface distribution.
WATER
Grey water systems
- Evapotranspiration
(ET) Systems
- Shallow Trench
- Shallow Mound
- Run off water

SOLAR
Solar collector
A device used to collect, absorb and
transfer the energy of the sun directly
into a more usable or storable form.
The solar heat can be used for heating
water, to back up heating systems, or
for heating swimming pools.
SOLAR
Solar collectors
can be mounted
on the roof, but
need to face the
sun.

Collectors to capture solar energy.
Circulation system to move a fluid
between the collectors to a storage
tank

Backup heating system
Control system to regulate the overall

SOLAR
Two basic
categories of
Solar water
heaters:
Direct Systems
Indirect Systems
SOLAR
Direct Systems
Hot water is circulated directly into the
collectors from the storage tank.
Direct systems can be either draindown
or recirculating.
SOLAR
Indirect Systems
Includes a
drainback tank
with heat
exchanger that
usually uses
antifreeze, oil or
refrigerant fluids.

SOLAR
Solar heating walls
The wall tempers the
intensity of the heat
during the day by
absorbing heat. At
night, the thermal
mass radiates heat
into the living space

CHEMICALS
Paints and Coatings
Paints with minimal off-gassing (low-VOC)
and superior durability
Recycled or biodegradable paints and
stains
CHEMICALS
Adhesives and sealants
Environmental considerations for
adhesive materials include durability,
potentially hazardous ingredients, and
VOC content.
LIGHTING
Appliances & lighting:
ENERGY STAR qualified appliances
incorporate advanced technologies
that use 10–50% less energy and
water than standard models.
LIGHTING
ENERGY STAR qualified
lighting provides bright,
warm light while using 75%
less energy.
Fluorescent light bulbs produce less heat
and last up to 10 times longer than
standard ones.
FEATURED PROJECT
First LEED building in Broward
- Building shape
conserves energy
and keeps operating
costs low
- White roof
reflects heat
Windows maximize
natural light,
minimize glare
