Water Conservation
Northwood Office significantly conserves water by using innovative water strategies.
- Uses storm water management plan to reduce water pollution and remove pollutants from storm water runoff, eliminating 85% of total suspended solids within the soil on-site and preventing contamination in local drinking supplies or natural ecosystems
- Storm water is captured and retained in detention ponds and then reused as irrigation water for landscaping around the area
- Selects native and drought-resistant plants, a process known as xeriscaping, to further reduce the amount of water needed for irrigation
- At the LEED-certified buildings, low flow toilet and water fixtures and metered faucets are used to reduce average building water consumption by over 35%
- Uses sink aerators to reduce water usage by 80% at these fixtures
