water security

The building sector extensively consumes water. However, this vital resource can be conserved through several design measures that reduce water consumption and waste. Solterre designs for water security at many scales, from the overall site impact on water drainage and runoff, to the integration of water efficient fixtures. Ensuring access to water is an important component of building resilience and survivability.

Even in areas where water is scarce, the capacity for water collection can be expanded and improved through thoughtful, site-driven design.
