Water Conservation

Course Overview

Water conservation is an important "building block" of a high performance school. This course will help you design and integrate water efficient strategies such as rainwater harvesting, recycling, and gray water reuse. Irrigation and stormwater management strategies are strongly linked to site design, particularly landscaping. The two courses under the topic of Site Design--Site Selection, Site Planning and Building Orientation; and Landscaping--should be considered companions to the Water Conservation course, just as water-efficient irrigation and effective stormwater management should be considered integral components of good site design.

This course presents an overview on Water conservation. The course is worth one hour of continuing education credit in the area of Health, Safety, Welfare.
