Integrated "green" building and landscape
designs, which typically incorporate sustainable water
use (i.e., conservation) practices and technologies, are
gaining increasing acceptance by architects, engineers,
builders, and landscape designers, not to mention green
vendors who now see viable markets for their products.
For example, the U.S. Green Building Council's
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED£)
Green Building Rating System includes criteria for water
credits, or sustainable water use practices. Hundreds of
LEED£-certified sites are now in operation in the U.S.,
and many more are planned. This slide presentation outlines
current standards, practices, and case studies of green
building projects that incorporate sustainable, water-
conserving features.
