Comments on: Water Efficiency to Become Critical in Green Building Designs http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/06/02/water-efficiency-to-become-critical-in-green-building-designs/ The Executive's Daily Green Briefing Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:16:51 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: The Shrimper http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/06/02/water-efficiency-to-become-critical-in-green-building-designs/comment-page-1/#comment-129088 The Shrimper Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:27:23 +0000 http://www.environmentalleader.com/?p=15857#comment-129088 The thing I find most puzzling is that "water efficiency" tops energy efficiency as now the prime concern in buildings? Perhaps it is the writing style, but I'd submit that it is people in buildings that consume water resources primarily. Also, we all continue to ignore the inherent shortcomings of "lo-flow" toilets, that must be flushed multiple times to do the job (hoe efficient is that ??) Given the dishonest and deceptive practices of the UN on "global warming" (oh excuse me, it's now climate change..) I find reference to any of their "studies" dubious at best. Realistic and practical measures to conserve and efficiently use resources of all kind is, of course should be pursued. Iain you've got it right.

Store grey water. Use for toilets, watering plants etc. Simple answer, tanks just below roof and parking grade. Store grey water. Use for toilets, watering plants etc.
