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 collection

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.

12
SOLAR

• Solar collectors can be mounted on the roof, but
  need to face the sun.

13
SOLAR

• Solar Water Heater
• Collectors to capture solar energy.
• Circulation system to move a fluid between the
  collectors to a storage tank
• Storage tank
• Backup heating system
• Control system to regulate the overall system
  operation

14
SOLAR

• Two basic categories of Solar water heaters
• Direct Systems
• Indirect Systems

15
SOLAR

• Direct Systems
• Hot water is circulated directly into the
  collectors from the storage tank. Direct systems
  can be either draindown or recirculating.

16
SOLAR

• Indirect Systems
• Includes a drainback tank with heat exchanger
  that usually uses antifreeze, oil or refrigerant
  fluids.

17
SOLAR

• Solar pool pumps

18
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

25
CHEMICALS

• Adhesives and sealants
• Environmental considerations for adhesive
  materials include durability, potentially
  hazardous ingredients, and VOC content.

26
LIGHTING

• Appliances lighting
• ENERGY STAR qualified appliances incorporate
  advanced technologies that use 1050 less energy
  and water than standard models.

27
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
