Water efficiency in Green Buildings

What you'll learn

Recognize ways to reduce water use inside and outside the building and implement water metering to support better water management.

Recognize how credits address issues related to improving water efficiency

Identify the intent, requirements, and strategies for success with Water Efficiency credits

Recognize how credit requirements lead to higher performing buildings and market transformation

Requirements

This is a basic or all-level course focused on LEED v4 Water Efficiency Credits and the GSAS Water Criteria. Being familiar with green building principles through GSAS CGP D&B, GSAS GCP CM, GSAS CGP OP, LEED GA, LEED AP (BD+C), IGBC AP, GRIHA CP Certification, or any engineering degree will be helpful.

Description

Water Efficiency - Green Building Technology Training Program Examine the LEED v4 BD+C Water Efficiency Credits, which emphasize minimizing water consumption within and outside the building and the significance of metering for improved water management. The Water category is concerned with water conservation for indoor and outdoor use. The natural water cycle is a system in which water resources are continuously exchanged between the atmosphere, soil water, surface water, ground water, and plants. This cycle treats and recharges freshwater supplies. Human consumption of fresh water outpaces the natural cycle and under these circumstances, water cannot be considered as a renewable resource. Sustainable techniques for the efficient use of water, the collection, recycling, and reuse of water to alleviate the environmental implications of water depletion and scarcity.The practice questions were prepared by a CEO and Founder of Beyond Smart Cities - Krishnaji Pawar.Specialized in developing sustainable design strategies for Green Building Certification Systems (LEED, GSAS, ACP, ISO14001:2015 etc.), Energy Management ,Energy Efficiency ,Energy Audit ,Building Commissioning,Environmental Impact Assessment & Environmental Management Systems.Key Learning ObjectivesRecognize ways to reduce water use inside and outside the building and implement water metering to support better water management.Recognize how credits address issues related to Water EfficiencyRecognize synergies between multiple credits.Identify the intent, requirements, and strategies for success with Water Efficiency creditsRecognize how credit requirements lead to higher performing buildings and market transformationWho this course is for:People seeking an in-depth understanding of Water Efficiency categories in the LEED rating systemsA sustainability specialist or professional, including sustainability managers, sustainability engineers, facility and business managers, industrial engineers, supply chain professionals, utility officials, consultants, contractors, financial officers, and energy service company professionals, becomes more aware of and effective at identifying and implementing the best sustainable site strategies.Architects, urban planners, and landscape professionalsFor students who need a deeper insight into Water Efficiency with respect to LEED OR GSASLooking to gain employment in Sustainability OR Green Building Development ? This sector is booming.
