Green Buildings: Water Availability, Delivery, Use, Collection & Quality

The Challenge:• Can advances in water systems

i th ffi iimprove the energy efficiency of green buildings?

Current statusCurrent status• Current water use patterns, practices, and costs stem from

historical precedence and perceptions of water availability • Non s stainable se/management of ater reso rces• Non-sustainable use/management of water resources• Centralized and deteriorating water infrastructure• Increased concerns about water quality

Evolving Emphasis• Holistic view of managing water as a finite and recoverable

natural resourcenatural resource

Page 16: G B ildi d GGreen Building and Green Cities TrackCities Track · Portland,,g Oregon City code requires onCity code requires on--site site stormwater managementstormwater management

Why Worry About Water in Green Buildings?

Water is essential to meet “in-building” requirements• Potable uses• Nonpotable uses

The use of water generates wastewaterThe use of water generates wastewaterImpervious surfaces (roofs, driveways, parking lots, etc) serve to channel rainwater• Prevents recharge/replenishment of water resources

(surface and underground)• Generates stormwater• Environmental impacts

Energy is needed to transport and treat water(drinking water wastewater stormwater)(drinking water, wastewater, stormwater)

Page 17: G B ildi d GGreen Building and Green Cities TrackCities Track · Portland,,g Oregon City code requires onCity code requires on--site site stormwater managementstormwater management

How Does Water Contribute to Carbon / GHG “Footprint” of Green Buildings?

Energy to deliver water• Transport water from source to point of use• Pressurize water distribution systemsEnergy to collect wastewater and stormwater (site runoff)Energy for treatment• Drinking (potable) water• Wastewater• StormwaterEnergy for infrastructure, operation, maintenance, & rehabilitationEnergy for “in-building” water heating & cooling

Embodied energy in materials (pumps, pipes, etc.)

Energy & GHG Savings Opportunities

Reduce energy for transport, treatment, and delivery of water• Recover, reclaim, & reuse wastewater,

a/c condensates & stormwater• Recover and use rainwater• On-site/decentralized treatment systems W t ti i tiWater use optimization• Less water lower energy use• L t l t t• Less water less wastewater

Goals & Opportunities for Sustainable (Green) Water Systems

Goals• Restore/maintain hydrologic cycley g y

• Balance water availability & water use• Restore & enhance water quality

• Water and ecosystem sustainability• Prevent/manage contamination

R d t ib ti f t t t f t i t f• Reduce contribution of water systems to footprint of carbon & other greenhouse gases

Opportunities• Water delivery (distribution systems)y ( y )

• Differentiate uses & quality• Tailored treatment for specific uses

• Efficient “in-building” water use• Collection/treatment systems toCollection/treatment systems to

harvest/recover rainwater, stormwater, wastewater, & air conditioner condensates

• Low impact development• Price of water—align with “true” costs

Page 20: G B ildi d GGreen Building and Green Cities TrackCities Track · Portland,,g Oregon City code requires onCity code requires on--site site stormwater managementstormwater management

Opportunities to Evolve Towards Sustainable Water Systems

More efficient use of “in-building” water• Appliances, low-flow devices• Separation of potable (drinking water,

cleaning, washing, direct contact) and non-potable applications

• Self-composting and low flow toiletsC ll t d i tCollect and recover rainwater• Alternative source of water• Reduce burden on water infrastructure

( aste ater/storm ater collection)(wastewater/stormwater collection)Reclaim wastewater• On-site or decentralized treatment

S f t f t bl• Source of water for non-potable applications (fire protection, toilets, landscaping, cooling water, recharge groundwater) g ou d ate )

• Reduce burden on water infrastructure

Advantages to Recovery & (Re)Use of Rain Water & Reclaimed Water

Preservation of higher quality water sources for potable waterWater is available in close proximity to where water is needed• Avoid costs and energy of collecting, transporting,

and (re)distributing• Quality is consistent

Resiliency of infrastructure and t t t t it titreatment systems–emergency situationsTreatment can be tailored to specific use• In-building uses (toilet flushing, fire protection)

( )• Exterior uses (landscape, cooling water)• Off-site (irrigation, industry, commercial

operations, car washing, cooling water, etc.)• Replenishment/augmentation of surface water p g

and ground water

Page 23: G B ildi d GGreen Building and Green Cities TrackCities Track · Portland,,g Oregon City code requires onCity code requires on--site site stormwater managementstormwater management

Efficient “In-Building” Use of Water

Encourage implementation of • Water-saving and recycling appliancesWater saving and recycling appliances• Low-flow fixtures• On-demand hot water systems• “I b ildi ” (t il t fl hi t )• “In-building” reuse (toilet flushing, etc.)

Designs and technologies for whole-building innovations such as • Optimized systems for high quality potable water• Non-water fire suppression• Hot water distribution systemsHot water distribution systems • Building heating/cooling systems • Centralized automatic monitoring systems for

managing demand to reduce water consumptionmanaging demand to reduce water consumption • Remote sensing and remote management
