Rainwater Harvesting

Created at: 07 Feb 2019

Description

Rainwater is harvested and treated from the roof and stored within basement parking levels where it is recycled for flushing toilet and irrigation uses. This strategy together with other efficient systems, such as the use of air-cooled chillers, thus reduces the building's potable water consumption by 90%. Additionally, the fire protection system has been designed to not expel any water during testing, thus it directs the water back into storage tanks.
