2. Water Conservation
Resources
- The Sigma Group utilized water efficient design to reduce
potable consumption by 83% compared to their previous facility.
- The Forest County Potawatomi use waterless urinals at
their administration building at 13th Street and St Paul
Avenue in the Menomonee Valley.
- Motorola's Austin TX semiconductor manufacturing facilities
reuse on average 21% of their water. In 1996 one site reclaimed
26.5 million gallons of water from a variety of waste streams.

Off-the-shelf technologies can significantly reduce water consumption
and associated costs.
- Employ whole-building design strategies and use the following
high-efficiency plumbing fixtures to reduce aggregate water use
(LEED™):
- Specify lavatory faucet aerators.
- Specify low-flow electronic sensor faucets in lavatories
or provide lavatories with pedal controls.
- Consider waterless urinals as a way of reducing first cost
in plumbing risers and to reduce water consumption.
