Water Harvesting / Conservation Techniques
While not a priority in all climates, water conservation, harvesting, and reuse is incredibly important in the design of buildings in dry, arid climates. Students who come to learn in Tucson, Arizona, are afforded the opportunity to discover how greywater systems and rainwater catchment systems work as it is a common design strategy used in the desert. I cover these strategies throughout the semester along with other more universally required sustainable techniques.
