3. Renewable Energy
 Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources
such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which
are renewable (naturally replenished)
 Generate carbon free energy and are also clean and pollution
free
 also referred to as "pollution free power" technologies

5. Water Treatment/Conservation
 Products with the water
treatment/conservation feature
either increase the quality of water
or reduce the amount of water
used on a site.
 This can be accomplished in two
ways:
 by physically restricting the
amount of water that can pass
through a fixture (showerhead,
faucet, toilet) or
 by recycling water that has
already entered the site.

6. Water Efficient Appliances
Any appliance which uses
significantly less water
than a standard fitting.
Such as:
Water
Efficient
Appliances/
Fixtures

7. Waterless Urinals
 Resemble conventional fixtures
 Easily replace them
 Eliminate flush water supply lines
 Flush valves are completely eliminated
 No handles to touch, no sensors to install
or adjust
 Daily cleaning procedures are the same as
for flushed urinals.
Benefits:
 cost savings
 reducing the problem of water shortages
 reducing the energy required to treat water
 reducing the amount of water that flows
into sewers
 The costs of installing these products are
comparable to standard fittings.

8. Water saving shower heads
 Shower accounts for about 30 %
of the total household water
consumption
 A reduced shower head flow rate
will reduce water consumption
during bathing, without
sacrificing user satisfaction

9. Water saving faucets
 Reduced faucet flow rates can still
reduce overall domestic water
consumption, water heating
demands, and wastewater treatment
loads.
 High-efficiency faucets in the bathroom
or a faucet aerator can reduce water flow
by as much as 30% without significantly
reducing performance.

10. Water saving washing machines
 Automatic clothes washing machines account for about 20% of
the total volume of water consumed in residents
 Savings in water usage for these devices may come from
different loading positions, suds-saver options, water level
settings, and design.

11. Rainwater Harvesting
 A system which collects rainwater from
the roof of a building and stores it for
reuse.
 This reduces water requirements from
the mains supply.
 Water collected is then stored in a tank,
before being pumped around the
building, as and when required.
 This water is not suitable for drinking
purposes but is used for other purposes
such as flushing toilets and for washing
machines.

12. Benefits:
 Reduces the demand
for treated mains
water by up to 50%
 Sustainable drainage
 Reducing the
demands on water
treatment plants.

13. Grey water recycling
 Any water that has been used in a
building, except water from toilets,
is called grey water.
 Dish, shower, sink, and laundry
water comprise 50-80% of
residential 'waste' water.
 This may be reused for other
purposes, especially landscape
irrigation.
Benefits:
 Lower fresh water use
 Groundwater recharge
 Plant growth
 Reclamation of otherwise wasted
nutrients.
