6. WATER Grey water systems
Greywater is defined as the wastewater produced from baths and showers, clothes washers, and lavatories.
Greywater can be used for irrigation, through sub-surface distribution.

11. SOLAR
Solar collector
A device used to collect, absorb and transfer the energy of the sun directly into a more usable or storable form.
The solar heat can be used for heating water, to back up heating systems, or for heating swimming pools.

12. SOLAR
Solar collectors can be mounted on the roof, but need to face the sun.

13. SOLAR Solar Water Heater Collectors to capture solar energy.
Circulation system to move a fluid between the collectors to a storage tank
Storage tank
Backup heating system
Control system to regulate the overall system operation

14. SOLAR Two basic categories of Solar water heaters: Direct Systems
Indirect Systems

15. SOLAR
Direct Systems
Hot water is circulated directly into the collectors from the storage tank. Direct systems can be either draindown or recirculating. 15

16. SOLAR Indirect Systems
Includes a drainback tank with heat exchanger that usually uses antifreeze, oil or refrigerant fluids.
Drainback Hot Water System

17. SOLAR
Solar pool pumps

18. SOLAR Solar heating walls
The wall tempers the intensity of the heat during the day by absorbing heat. At night, the thermal mass radiates heat into the living space

26. LIGHTING Appliances & lighting:
ENERGY STAR qualified appliances incorporate advanced technologies that use 10–50% less energy and water than standard models.

27. LIGHTING
ENERGY STAR qualified lighting provides bright, warm light while using 75% less energy.
Fluorescent light bulbs produce less heat and last up to 10 times longer than standard ones.

28. FEATURED PROJECT First LEED building in Broward
- Building shape conserves energy and keeps operating costs low
- White roof reflects heat
Windows maximize natural light, minimize glare
