Sustainable water management is helping the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, Australia, to save water and maintain lavish gardens, according to an article on the Consulting- Specifying Engineer website.
The facility has adopted a number of sustainable water-management initiatives—including low-flow fixtures and fittings, and flow controls.
Toilet and urinal flushing in the building is provided by the roofwater collection system, which saves 264,000 gallons of water each year.
The greywater treatment system features a vertical-flow vegetated reed bed and also provides a lush, landscaped green roof.
