For the Middle East the percentage is even higher.

Urban Water Use

• Urban water concerns are likely to increase

• Good design & practice can reduce water use +50% in buildings

• Retrofits can reduce water use 35% to 75%

• Australia is the case study, the testing ground– 150 liters/capita/day– U.S: 150 gallons/cap/day!

• U.S. good practice– 600 l/m2/year

• Australian best practices:– 400 l/m2/a

• No cooling tower

• German averages:– 200 l/m2/a

The Future is Green, But…

If you want to score, run to where the ball is headed, not to where it is.

Ask yourself: how green will the built environment be in 2015? What will be the New Normal?

Non-performing green buildings will pay a penalty in that market!
